Today, I'll be speaking with Cecilia and Scott Fix about how to spend a fantastic day outdoors in Alexandria, Virginia.
Join Cecilia, Scott, and me as we start off our day, waking up in a spooky spot. Then we continue adventuring outdoors via boating the Potomac and geocaching. All while also appreciating old architecture, waterfront parks, art installations, Cherry Blossoms, and all of the best eating and drinking Alexandria has to offer along the way.
Scott and Cecilia are a travel blogging married couple who
travel both locally and internationally.
They have an insatiable desire for outdoor adventure, not
necessarily just in the adrenaline junkie sense of the word, but
for anything exciting and new.
Cecilia has a background in humanitarian work, a Master's degree in
International Development, and has served as a Peace Corps
volunteer for 2 years in Cape Verde, giving her a keen interest in
human relationships and connectedness.
Scott has a background in physics and math. His love for travel is
driven more by an intense curiosity to discover the history and
theories of why things are the way they are.
Together Scott and Cecilia have climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro,
scuba-dived in the Philippines, safari'd in Tanzania, and slept in
a yurt in the mountains of West Virginia.
But it's their love for "micro-adventure" that has led them to many
of their new favorite experiences, including geocaching, camping in
their backyard, sleeping in treehouses, and exploring haunted and
abandoned locations.

There are very few places in the U.S. that you can go to that genuinely feel old, that you can look around and there's unique architecture. There's something unique about the town. I think a lot of places in the U.S. either tend to look the same or look very modern. Alexandra is someplace that definitely looks historical and it's that way, because it genuinely is.
So that history mixed with little bits of Modern cuisine, modern culture, with live performances, and pop up boutiques, it's a nice mixture of old and new.
