It's Easter weekend in Alexandria, and there's no shortage of egg hunts to choose from — just keep an eye on the forecast.
Friday and Saturday look warm and mostly sunny with highs in the mid-80s, but Sunday brings showers for most of the day with highs in the low 70s.
Saturday brings hunts at Lee-Fendall House, Charles Houston Recreation Center, Warwick Village, and Angel Park, plus an underwater egg hunt at Chinquapin for the adventurous. Start your Saturday with breakfast with the Easter Bunny at Theismann's or wrap up the weekend with Easter brunch at Hank's Oyster Bar.
Looking for something a little darker? The Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum offers its Poisons Tour on Saturday evening. And wine lovers can check out the grand opening of DCANTER on Saturday.
Here's everything on the calendar this weekend.
