If you have a Trader Joe's nearby and you like tea, go check out their blueberry green tea. I'm enjoying a cup right now, and it's weird--I don't like green tea, and I don't like fruity-flavored tea, and yet this stuff is totally hitting the spot! Weird, huh?
As I continue to catch up my pictures, here are some more from our Thanksgiving trip. We did a little bit of Black Friday shopping and went in search of some good used bookstores. We ended up in Alexandria in the late afternoon and decided to explore the downtown area, which has tons of old buildings and old homes.

I remembered going to the tavern, but I had no idea where exactly it was...and then I happened to spot it as we drove down a side street:
We didn't eat there because it was pricey and the menu sounded a little too Olde English to really be good, but I did want to get a picture for posterity.
We just strolled up and down the streets and kept ducking into various shops to warm up as the sun went down and the wind picked up.

In fact, checking my files, I see that this is the last of my DC pictures. We took a candlelight tour of Mount Vernon the following night, but again--it was dark and I didn't even try to get any pictures. One of my little resolutions for this year is to try to take more pictures...it seems like I got burnt out on picture-taking from my early hardcore scrapbooking days, when I had a camera basically attached to my hand at all times. Now I've gone the other way and I never get good pictures of anything! Which will become apparent when I share my Christmas pictures in a few more days.

I love blueberries, and really like blueberry green tea - it's a nice combo.
But then, I like most bluberry teas.
Sounds like a tasty tea. We just got a Trader Joe's last year and I haven't been in it yet. The last time I tried the parking lot was just too jammed (it was a Saturday).
