Happy Birthday Alexandria!

The City of Alexandria celebrated its 259th birthday on Saturday with fireworks! The Alexandria Symphony Orchestra performed a free “Big Band” show prior, then the fireworks soundtrack with Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture.” Marines from Quantico even provided cannon support!

But before all of the fireworks, there was cake! Mayor Euille gave me a cupcake and I had a flashback to school elections, where candidates tried to buy your vote with tasty treats.

I’ll have pictures up as soon as I figure out what’s wrong with my gallery…well, I think I know what’s wrong, I’m just low on time to fix it.

edit 08/08/08/: Gallery is fixed!  Look, it’s a picture!

The mayor would like you to have a cupcake
