Alexandria, VA (USA)

I took Mollie to the Jerome "Buddie" Ford Nature Center to volunteer for several hours today (1000). She spent several hours there and, when I went to pick her up (1545), the ladies that supervised her told me she was one of their best volunteers and welcomed her back whenever she wanted to come.  We then drove to the Alexandria Animal Shelter and visited the cats and dogs (Mollie loves that!).  After running some quick errands, we went to Mass at St. Lawrence (1700).  In the evening, we drove to National Harbor to have dinner at the Redstone American Grill with Bonnie and Kathy.  We had a nice visit and didn't get home until 2100.
