Come join us on an easy-moderate approx 8-9+/- mile 243 ft elevation gain 2.5 mph walk from Alexandria, starting at Jones Point Park. We will walk along the water in Alexandria, then walk across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to the National Harbor located in Maryland (Oxen Hill).

We will eat dinner (bring your own or there are many take-out places) at the National Harbor (you can pick your own place to get food). I am bringing my own food and I plan on eating outside by the tree & harbor. You are welcome to join me. But if you are cold there are several restaurants with indoor dining.We will enjoy the daytime views of Alexandria, DC and the National Harbor from the bridge. Then we will enjoy the sunset, and the lights at the National Harbor. At 5:30 they light the 60 foot Christmas Tree adorned with over 2,000,000 twinkling Christmas lights. Following the lighting of the tree, there will be a fireworks show as well. When that is done, we will start to head back to our cars and enjoy the lighted views of the National Harbor, Alexandria and DC. We should be done and in our cars by 8pm (But plan for 9pm just in case we don't want to leave)
