39. - go on a ghost tour - completed
Old Town Alexandria, VA
nikki, billy and i went on a ghost tour in Old Town.
a guide took us on a walking tour, told us ghost stories,
pointed out where certain things or hauntings took place and shared bits about the 18th & 19th centuries.
twas fun.


spooky night shot of the graveyard where we were "abandoned"
of course, it was right on a main street and well-lit, so it wasn't scary.
of course, me be the total dork that i am (with the over-active imagination) immediately think of zombies!!

more night shots of the graveyard



one of the church - where George Washington used to attend services


the most haunted house in Alexandria

too bad i didn't catch Laura on film :(

the window with the A/C unit is the room where Laura's wedding dress caught on fire on the day of her wedding.
(back in the 1800s)
she fell down the stairs and died and haunts the house (which is now a store) to this day.

#17 - attend a Redskins game (regular or pre-season) - accomplished!



#17 - attend a Redskins game (regular or pre-season) - accomplished!
i went to my first Redskins game today.
we had pretty good seats and it was free!
it was the perfect day for a game, too. (weather-wise)
it wasn't cold and it wasn't hot.
though we did get really warm when we were sitting in the sun.
too bad the 'skins lost.
and to one of the worst (if not the worst) teams in the league.
i still had a great time, though.
