Attention Platinum & Gold athletes & parents:

On Saturday, June 18, everybody in the Platinum & Gold groups are invited up to Old Town (VA) for a hearty burger dinner and a "Ghost Tour" through historic Old Town, Alexandria.

Plan on meeting at my house at 5:00 p.m., and we'll walk over to "The Burger Joint" on Washington Street for dinner. "BGR," as it's known, has a wide array of burgers to choose from, and the sweet potato fries are a nice alternative to traditional fries. After dinner, we'll walk down King Street towards City Hall, where we'll have a private Ghost Tour through Old Town. The tour starts at 7:30 p.m., and will last about an hour. We can get ice cream at Pops Ice Cream Shoppe on King Street after the tour ends. We'll be back at my house by 9:30 p.m. for everybody to head for home.

COST: plan on bringing $25 to cover dinner & ice cream after the tour. The cost of the Ghost Tour is $90 total; with 15 people that's $6 per person. If we have fewer than 15 people, the cost goes up per person. Depending on how many people wind up coming, plan on bringing the appropriate amount in cash to cover the cost of the tour (I cannot handle any cash ahead of time; I've simply reserved the tour, and we'll pay in cash on Saturday).

ADDRESS: my address is as follows-

607 South Columbus Street
Alexandria, VA 22314

The simplest way to get to my house is Route 4 north to the Capital Beltway; take the Inner Loop across the Wilson Bridge and get off at the 2nd exit once you've crossed the bridge, which is Route 1 North. Make your first right turn onto Franklin Street, then proceed to the first traffic light (which is South Columbus Street) and turn left. Our house is towards the end of the block on the left (if you cross Gibbon Street- a one way street with a traffic light, you've gone too far).

Please email me by Wednesday, June 15th if you plan on coming up for a fun afternoon away from the pool! I'm looking forward to a great afternoon!
