pictures: Information about the Lobby at the Royalton - 01/14/14 01:47 AM

 
Just inside the entrance to the Royalton there are two separate lobby areas. One is open with large modern furniture that quite frankly sort of reminds me of some of the pieces from Pee Wee’s Playhouse.  But to the right behind a pair of glass doors is a great lobby that encases some of the best of modern styling.
See all Royalton.

Alexandria’s history as a colonial seaport is well-known in the area, and is one of the reasons that this city to calls to visitors from around the country and around the world. Alexandria’s seaport was once a bustling place of industry and commerce, but the cargo ships and packets from foreign seas are long gone now. Today, Alexandria’s waterfront is geared more toward the pleasant than the practical.

pictures: Great Falls National Park - 05/12/10 05:25 PM
Julie and I stopped by Great Falls National Park to do a little hiking. The weather was perfect, not to hot-not to cold. When I reached the Potomac I snapped a few pictures.
At Great Falls, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge. The Patowmack Canal offers a glimpse into the early history of this country. Great Falls Park has many opportunities to explore history and nature, all in a beautiful 800-acre park only 15 miles from the Nation's Capital.
