Hiking on Father's Day

I Scream You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream

This past Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took me out for dinner and a treat. It was Father's Day weekend and Daddy was in the mood for Tex Mex. The closest thing that we can find to that is Austin Grill which is now rumored to be owned by some Yankees (Originally started by Austinite's). When Mommy and Daddy first moved to this area Austin Grill use to import Amy's ice cream but now that they have new owners.... well let's just say they don't know what they are missing by not having it!

After our dinner, the weather was so nice that we decided to go get my very first ice cream. So Daddy with his rock star parking, found us a spot right up close to the waterfront of Old Town Alexandria. Of course all the ice cream shops were packed but it was worth the wait. Mommy and I shared some sort of heath chocolate combination. IT WAS SO GOOD!

Finally, we ended our evening walking around the waterfront and checking out the artists booths from a festival close by. On Sunday, we took a Father's Day hike at Great Falls. I'll be sure to get that video up later.

Love,
