    2/25 – Duck (ride completed on 2/25)
    I stopped by one of our favorite local Chinese restaurants that was delivering before it was cool (I.E. COVID-19) called Duk Wo. The spelling is funky but the duck is delicious. The kids loved to come here (in the before times) to watch the sushi chefs work, sometimes they even got a special treat from them just because they were cute and loved the sushi so much! f3faeed7ed1d25c1673edc8cfbf76156.jpg

    Went for the word cardinals. Found the bird and the name spelled out at Bishop Ireton High School on Cambridge Road, Alexandria.

    I can’t believe I didn’t think of Cardinal, my neighborhood is literally filled with them!

    Shawn, are there any actual mosaics in the mosaic district? I’m headed there tomorrow for a different reason, and would love to see some new mosaics if there area any. Also — where is this dolphin? It’s a rare and wonderful find!

    I’ve biked there several times, but I cannot recall actually seeing any mosaics. No guarantee either way on that one.

    The dolphin is one of the decorations at a gas station here in West Springfield. Unfortunately, it’s right on a slip lane so most people miss it.

    2/23 – Mosaic!
    I no longer regularly pass near Mosaic District in Merrifield, so I decided to get a picture of a dolphin statue at a local gas station that happens to be covered in a lovely MOSAIC of pebbles.

    Also happy that this was literally 10 feet off my normal commute.

    I know I’m not the first to find this word, but this place is near my office and I actually went in to drop off some clothes today! (ahem, extra points?)9f0e1f55d9da5b5b3229900bd856e341.jpg

    Here is a picture of the Orange and Alexandria railroad Trestle marker at Lake Accotink. I didn’t get a picture of the actual Trestle, but it’s also not the original one that existed in the Civil War. Apparently, the original wooden trestle over accotink Creek with a frequent Target of the Confederates to cut off supply lines. An attack on The Trestle directed by J E B Stuart was alarming because of its proximity to Alexandria.c24b231753624af81a709125ed0d3f3d.jpgec48cc76d8285c49d09a7ffa0811861c.jpg

    1/7/21 – Moon

    On January 7, 1610, Galileo discovered 3 of the moons of Jupiter. Creative entries encouraged, but if your photo of your “moon” is not apparent, please explain. Happy hunting!

    PS – no derrieres. This is a family friendly hunt! :D
