Hi our loyal readers


Dot and I moved our location on the 16th to Aquia Pines RV Resort and were very happy we did. Better location, better park, better sites, closer to Julie.

After we got set up again we spent the afternoon in Fredericksburg. This is a quaint town of Washington’s boyhood. His mother and sister lived her and it was here that Mary his mother died. The white house pictured here is the home George purchased for his mother. There are a few other homes here from the area as well as the Apothecary shop of Dr. Mercer who was also a military officer in the Pennsylvania Militia. There were several Civil War battles fought here and in the surrounding area. We had a great afternoon.

June 16
Today we picked up Julie and toured Arlington National Cemetery and DC. We were able to take in the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown and also visited the Kennedy Family site.

There is no way you can do justice to DC in one or two days. The people we are camped next to took eight days to see it and still felt they had missed some things. Well then, we missed a lot. It would probably take three to four days just do the Smithsonian. We saw it from the outside.

The White house was a nice visit as well as the Capitol. Tomorrow we are going to Mount Vernon as well as one or two battle fields.
Blessings
Tom and Dot on the road again
