Do you know you can enjoy old world charm just a few minutes away from Washington D.C.?

Probably you might have heard about Alexandria Virginia Getaway, but never gave more importance to it.

I am a regular reader of an article entitled, ‘Road less traveled’ that appears in my local daily ‘The Hindu’. Its author writes about some unusual places of sight seeing that are mostly hidden behind more frequently visited places.

I wish I have an eye for such road less traveled places.

Browsing through several brochures on Discount Vacation Packages, I think I have found one such place in Alexandria Virginia Getaway. It may be my ignorance that I have never heard of it before, but sometime ignorance proves to be a bliss-right?

The leaflets given by Fairfield getaways explained in detail about Alexandria’s inviting blend of modern-day excitement and old world charm. The Old Town Alexandria, where charming Victorian ships and homes spill onto cobblestone streets, once traveled only by foot or horse-drawn carriage.

I learnt that I can explore nature coves and marshes by kayak, take a stroll on the charming outdoor Market Square in Old Town Alexandria, or sail to George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, where, every detail meticulously restored to reflect his last year.

I wonder whether Wyndham Vacation Ownership, Inc. itself is aware of Cameron Run Regional Park which includes a water park with a wave pool and water slides, as well as a miniature golf course and batting cages — facilities usually operated by private companies.

Fairfield Getaways features many exciting packages to choose from. Like weekend getaways, family vacations, and travel packages that include hotel accommodations and extra goodies to top destinations.
