Back to Virginia
I was in Virginia last Memorial Day weekend to visit my friend Rebecca. We went hiking in Shenandoh National Park. This year, I am going there for her wedding and am taking my son. Rebecca hasn't seen my son for almost four years. She will be very surprised to see him since he is about two feet taller.
The wedding is in Fredericksburg, VA at the Presbyterian Church of Fredericksburg on Saturday, with the reception to follow at TJ's Catering. We are staying at the Wyngate Inn, Fredericksburg. It should be a nice stay. We have a pool, fitness room and most importantly, free internet and free breakfast. Hooray! We plan to stay there two nights an then relocate to Chantilly, VA. We are flying in and out of Dulles Airport and leave for home on Tuesday morning at 6:15 am. Since Fredericksburg is about an hour away from Dulles, I thought staying close by the airport would be easiest. Chantilly is close and the hotel was reasonable. We are staying at a Courtyard by Marriot which also offers free internet and breakfast. I love free!
Now, what the heck are we gonna do for three whole days? Saturday, we have the wedding from noon to 6, so we won't have time for much sight seeing. But Sunday and Monday, we plan to visit Washington, DC. I've never been to our nation's capital, so it should be interesting. Connor is working on a project at school and has requested that we see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I'm hoping we will also be able to see the Vietnam Women's Memorial.
Another stop in DC, the Smithsonian. I'm sure we could spend the entire day there alone. A great resource I just found is Go Smithsonian, which has all sorts of information on traveling to DC, dining, etc. Maybe I won't be totally lost when we go there.
With all this free internet service while I'm traveling, I'm sure to post some pictures or other comments here. Maybe I'll even get to see King George.

Surprised is right! I didn't even recognize him! :)
