to be fair, half the people there called it a celebration since the war. the other half? they called it the commemoration of the occupation of union troops. did you hear that?? the occupation of union troops! yup. that one kind of blew me away haha.
the beans loved the re-enactors. especially the drummer.
my favorite part was walking around the christ church grounds & having the nicest gardener ever walk us over to the parish house to get someone to give us a personal tour. the church was closed to get ready for a meeting later that day but they unlocked it & walked us around the 1773 church to look at george washington's pew & ask as many questions as we wanted. very cool.
we got to stop by some amazing little shops, kiss my mr. lincoln, tour the founder's home, eat lunch looking over the potomac, count the ducks, listen to the fun civil wars-y band stand, walk down the cobblestone alleys, smother the kiddles in sunscreen, & check out the huge old torpedo factory turned art studio/museum.
awesome saturday. check.
