Thinking about a girls weekend in Alexandria to come up on the train from Richmond for the Torpedo Factory Halloween/Day of the Dead Party on Nov 2nd. Is it worth the trip up? Hoping to stay at the hotel near the train station and taking the trolley around town. Anything else worth seeing in that area?
Thanks.
It can be a lot of fun, especially if you dress up and get into the "spirit".
