At The Alexandria City Farmers Market March 29, 2008-Breaking It In
Today was brisk and gorgeous-unlike the predicted rainy day we were supposed to get. Frank and I took Cole and Tucker into Old Town to visit the Alexandria City Market and take a stroll. Mostly, it turned into a delicious breakfast of sweet and savory pastries and freshly squeezed orange juice from the vendors. And, a brief dance display from the Rock Creek Morris Dancers. Farmers markets are like a box of chocolates-you never know what you’re going to find.
We strolled along King St. and saw the new trolley which will run up and down King Street, free. Breakfast with our market purchases tasted even better with views of the Potomac and meeting new folks who came up to meet our dogs.
High tides prevailed as Old Town readied itself for the tourist season, with new lights and signs along the waterfront. If you look closely at the header photo, you can see Cole “christening” one of the new displays in front of the Torpedo Factory.
I’m so proud…….
Until the next At The Market, eat and buy local when you can.
Enjoy!
