Great Day Out: Windmill Hill Park

Windmill Hill Park is one of our favorite places in Old Town Alexandria; and yes it's as lovely as it sounds. Perched between South Union and South Lee Street it overlooks the Potomac River so you get a wee breeze from the water. The trees, picnic tables, playpark and basketball courts are always well kept and the wildlife is fab - that's where Miss O met her first frog! There's ample street parking and a Starbucks down the road for adult refreshment.

So grab a picnic and head to the water and squeeze some more time of this summer weather in September!
