Before you know it, the time has passed and you are still wondering what happened. I lived there my whole life, and I have yet to visit the Washington Monument. I've done all the other museums, but I kept saying.... one day. That day still hasn't come. Hotel Monaco is such a modern looking place. Looking at the outside of the building you would never imagine the inside is so colorful and modern. Hope you get a chance to visit OT more.

Starting at the Masonic Temple, which is near the King Street subway station, there are probably 10 - 15 long city blocks of little unique shops and restaurants until you get down to the water. It's amazing how much we used to walk in those days.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-43892252462857537872012-05-09T03:51:36.923-04:002012-05-09T03:51:36.923-04:00Matty - Thanks!

It is a shame that we live in areas and travel outside the areas to sightsee instead of seeing all that is available right around us. I have the same issue here in Atlanta.

I always say I want to try things out there, but never make it due to school and whatnot. Kimpton Hotels are the best! I've never stayed in one but attended some events at the one in DC and they are fun and full of style. Nice pics- you may have given me some ideas on what to do after school ends.Lise620https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476197272340945810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-44678066632253388942012-05-08T07:52:43.255-04:002012-05-08T07:52:43.255-04:00Thanks for the tour of Old Town Alexandria.
