A Day In Virginia’s Alexandria


Everyone reaches a point in their life whereby they just need to get away from everything and blend in with the people from another city or country once in a while. While it is great if you can afford to take a flight out of the country to immerse yourself in a whole new culture in a completely different country, there is one such quaint place in our backyard....and that would be Virginia’s little Alexandria. All you need to do is to rent a charter bus from Charter BUs VA, a reliable and professional charter bus rental company that is servicing the entire nation in most cities and bring the small group to Alexandria for a relaxing time.
In Old Town Alexandria, it is a known fact that they have it all in terms of it being one of the preferred places to live and work in. In fact, Alexandria’s been climbing the list of most preferred quiet getaways in the country...and we completely agree.
The charming thing about a place like Alexandria is that it is Virginia’s hidden gem, has an Old Town that rings of history and rich culture while there is also the waterfront at Potomac River. The authorities have come to learn about how much pride the locals have regarding the waterfront and have been adding some newer features. Do head over during your charter bus VA visit.
And if history is what you are yearning for, then a charter bus visit to Alexandria’s Christ Church is an absolute MUST. It not only showcases the amazing structure (it is not a monument, but a real church built by initial settlers) but also reflects the religious heritage that has been vehemently preserved over a long period of time. The church continues to be regularly used till this very day and the people and pastors are more than happy to offer you their welcome during their services and sermons. As welcomed as tourists are at Christ Church, because the church is still being used, and if there is a wedding reception or service going on, visitors are discouraged from entering the church and disrupting the ongoing event.
Look around the internet for historical tours or take a cue from the locals about where to hit during your charter bus VA getaway...if you are really lucky, for instance, if you are visiting around Halloween, take advantage of their ghost tours which might leave you with some amazing memories and incredible fun.
