Old Town Alexandria, VAWe didn't make many stops in Old Town simply because we were eager to get on the road. We stayed in the Sheraton Suites in Alexandria, but spent our days in Washington, so this trip on the way out of town was all we really had time for. This is the inside of Christ Church - the church attended by George Washington and Robert E. Lee.
The is George Washington's family pew, as noted by the marker below.

This photo doesn't really show up very well, but on either side of the altar are hangings of the ten commandments, the Lord's prayer and the Apostles' Creed. They are the original hangings and were hand-painted by the architect. Amazing! President Washington looked at the very same thing. I sat in his pew, too. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), it didn't make me any more presidential!
Note the original cobblestone street and the view of the Potomac! What a beautiful town, full of colonial history. Maybe we will be able to spend more time next time.
