When I woke up this morning and let the dogs outside I was bracing myself for how cold it was probably going to be when I went outside to open the gate. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was it not cold, not even a jacket was required. Perfect day to spend walking downtown. Here are some pictures of some of my favorite places that I try to stop in at as often as I'm able. I really love browsing through the antique shops. The two here are my favorites. 
I found a few things I needed for my little room at the antique shops, but here's my favorite purchase. Old skeleton keys. I love these!
On the way back to my car I passed by Saint George's Episcopal Church. 
If you're looking at it, there's a cemetery immediately to the left with a gate around it. It's the oldest cemetery I've ever seen. This is what it says on a plaque right outside of the gate-
I found out recently that Martha Washington's Father's final resting place is in this cemetery. If you walk right through the gate, he's in the far right corner. His name is John Dandridge. Here's where he sleeps-
Here are a couple of pictures of the cemetery. I love looking at the headstones. Even though it's in the middle of the city, it's so peaceful there.
I had such a nice time walking through the city. My parents are coming for a visit this weekend. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can go to Washington on Sunday. I've taken my dad twice but my mom hasn't been yet. I've got lots of things I want to show her!
