Great pictures of an obviously well attended event and it was good to see the different kilted period fashions.
Alexandria looks to be a lovely and historic place and I wished that I had stayed there now rather than in a DC motel!

What a wonderful set of pictures, but it sure looks cold!

COLD! Though I thought less so than last year.
For the most part where I was covered in wool I was OK, but my knees were like blocks of ice and stayed that way until long after I got home (45 min drive). They were also a very pretty shade of red!

Sometime when you're out and about, would you snap a picture of the McKnights tavern site? Martha McKnight, daughter of the tavern keeper, is an ancestor of mine.....so obviously, so is her father, and HIS father, who emigrated from Ulster in 1730.

Wonderful photos. It looks like you had a great time (albeit a tad on the cool side.)
