07-07-07 was one of the top five best days while living in D.C. It was one of those days when everything is surprisingly wonderful. It started out with a delightful breakfast and then on to a small concert featuring Garth Brooks.
The day persisted to be great when a group of friends and I went to the Alexandria Days Festival. We stopped by Cosi to eat. We had fun eating s'mores and pie. From the restaurant we walked to the docks in Alexandria. So many people were out and there was great entertainment. We first came upon a group of bird protectors. They had the most beautiful birds and we were able to hold them. My bird's name was "sweetie pie" and she laid in my arms. I loved it.
Then we meandered down to the docks. There was an entertaining man that was heading up a patriotic parade for children. Of course, some of my good friends are children at heart so they joined in with their musical instruments. This man asked if anyone sang. We chanted for Jenell to get up and sing since she had been on Broadway!!! With some coaxing she got up and sang with this man for the next 30 minutes. She had about 100 people stopping to listen. It was magical!!! My friends are so great because they are so willing to just jump in and live life.
