ceebeegeeYesterday Mom and I went into Old Town Alexandria and visited Gadsby's Tavern, a recreation of a tavern and inn in 1785 Alexandria. It was too cool. I love visiting historical sites--there's something so...fascinating about being in the same setting as someone from hundreds or thousands of years ago, seeing what they saw, imagining what they heard and smelled. Old Town is really neat that way--the whole area is just so darn colonial, with cobblestoned paths and townhouses, narrow streets, the noise of the river nearby.
Sigh. I wish I could go back in time. There are so many interesting periods I'd love to visit, like colonial America, and ancient Greece and Rome, and Tudor and medieval England.
