Manassas....Fredericksburg....Chancellorsville.. I think I've been on as many battlefields as Robert E. Lee. We returned to Virginia two days ago, staying in Reston , just outside the Beltway. Never thought we would take the road monster that close to D.C., but there was a very nice county park that was close to the part of the C& O Canal where the Park Service gives mule-driven canal boat rides. Just like it was in the 1800's. Way cool.

Kept looking for Clarence Thomas in the park, but since court is not in session now, I guess he's touring the West.

We are now in Fredericksburg where we have been joined by our oldest son and his family. They will be camping with us for the rest of this week. After seeing a little more of VA, including the Shenandoah Valley, we will start our cross-country trek back home.
