Washington DC: Day Three- Torpedo Factory

As we were walking to the waterfront, there was a torpedo factory.  It looked semi-interesting to so in we went. This is the first thing we saw, and that was the only torpedo piece of memorabilia. 
 The rest of the factory has been re-purposed into independent art studios. Where individual artist could display and sell their art.  There was one artist who did purses and I really wanted one until I saw they were $235. Little out of my price range.
 After we looked around the studio (which was kinda a highlight for me), our walk to the shore line continued.  Brent found and anchor. 
 Finally, we made it to the shore line.  This is the great Potomic River.  
 After finishing up at the shore line, where there wasn't much to do, we realized all that walking we did could have been done through the local trolley system. (who knew)
 One last view of The George Washington Masonic Memorial from the metro stop!
Alexandria was really pretty, quaint and small town!
