You’ve got to love a family with teens and young adults who are not just willing to meet at 7 in the morning on a Sunday (after a 30 minute drive no less), but are happy and smiley doing so. Of course, for active athletes such as this group, 7 am might feel like sleeping in. Winning the Division 1 Northern Virginia Swimming League title, which this family helped do for their summer swim team, is not for slackers after all.

Enjoy some of the photos I took of this picture book family during our sun drenched walk around at the waterfront and the cobblestone alleys of Old Town Alexandria.

Good luck to everyone for the new school year and the exciting adventures ahead.
