day trippin'

Took la maman on a belated Mother's Day outing to Alexandria. We wandered through the waterfront and the Torpedo Art Factory. 

A sumptuous silk quilt; completely not needed on this day where the humidity almost outstrips the temps.

The flower baskets were flourishing, even if we weren't.

Alexandria's courthouse finally has a new roof, it's been under construction since I visited with Trinity students in 2016. 

Back to my fav Vietnamese place for lemongrass chickens.

Stripy umbrellas, light house tower and glass lanterns~while I've not been to Nantucket (yet), this restaurant makes me think of it.
