Traditional Old Town Halloween Decor

We love to visit Old Town Alexandria. Not just for morning walks, but to see the decorations for every season. We have been visiting Old Town long before we moved to Capitol Hill from the Midwest seventeen years ago. Now that we live in northern Virginia we still visit. It’s about twenty five minutes away and usually a lovely drive down the GW Parkway. So at this time of year the fall decorations appear. Obviously for Halloween there are many ghouls and goblins and skeletons. But there are also more traditional Halloween decorations that remain well in to Thanksgiving. In particular the front entryways of the lovely townhomes and row houses are delightful as are the window boxes. There are so many assortments of pumpkins and gourds. We usually park at the waterfront and walk through the downtown area, then meander up  and down the streets. It’s one of the friendliest place to walk. And, it’s a great alternative to the National mall and the DC area. So wherever you happen to live, we hope you have a happy Halloween!
