The good news is that the weekend weather is supposed to be largely precipitation-free, though chilly. If you’re looking for something interesting to do, consider any of these three options around the Richmond Highway corridor:
- Enjoy good food. Order dinner specials from local restaurants participating in Alexandria Restaurant Week. From Jan. 21-30, more than 60 restaurants are offering special menus, including in-person and/or to-go options. Among other participating eateries are Cedar Knoll on Lucia Lane and Dishes of India at Belle View Shopping Center.
- Search for tundra swans. Mason Neck State Park in Lorton has a variety of activities this weekend, including a tundra swan hike, Audubon bird walk, and a hike to view resident beavers. The Audubon event on Saturday morning requires advance registration.
- Attend live theater. This is the final weekend for Aldersgate Church Community Theater’s youth production of “Once Upon a Mattress,” a spin on the classic “Princess and the Pea” tale. Information and tickets are available via the website.
