Another shot of Lake Anne Village with Halo posing in front of the Virginia is for Lovers giant LOVE sign, all decked out for Pride. The sign is sitting at the foot of the lake, which is Lake Anne's namesake, surrounded by outdoor shops and dining in contemporary 1960s architecture, looking just the same as I remember it did in the 70s when I was a little kid.

Drove down to Northern Virginia for my Mom's birthday. Spent this afternoon having lunch with friends in Lake Anne Village, which is where I used to go to daycare when I was really little, and it's funny how much I remember of it. It looks almost exactly the same.

Right after my brother snapped this photo of me and my Mom, we noticed the sign we were sitting under, which talks about the history of this place, which is now a National Landmark (explaining how it still looks so much the same!), and then, just to the right (outside of photo) we realized is the entrance to the daycare center I attended! Under a new name, but still there. Pretty neat!
