WILDERNESS PRESIDENTIAL RESORT and CHANCELLORSVILLE BATTLEFIELD (OCT. 10, 2009)

The pitter patter of raindrops awoke us this morning…
Nothing serious, but, peaking out the window, we saw a lot of gray…
Good day to stay home and take it easy…
Did some research on what else to see and do around here, and found a guided bus tour of D.C., which we booked for Monday…
For all you non- Norwegians, Monday is Columbus Day, but everybody knows who discovered America, so, we (my dearly beloved and yours truly) do not celebrate this particular occasion… Just so you know…
Late this morning, we took a short trip down the road to check on Lu’s medicine at Walmart, then drove across the road to visit Costco…
Nice to have both so close to one another… Saves on gas…
The drizzle was still on, but it looked like it wasn’t going to last into the afternoon, so we took a nap to wait it out…
Then, just for something to do, and out of curiosity - because we’ve driven by these places time and again since we arrived - we decided to take a self guided tour of the battlefields that surrounds this place…
I hope you enjoy the short history lesson, because that’s today’s installment to my Blog…

Here are the latest pictures: http://cid-44d18849bf3983e9.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/WILDERNESS%20PRESIDENTIAL%20RESORT%20and%20CHANCELLORSVILLE%20BATTLEFIELD%20%5E5OCT.%2010%5EJ%202009%5E6?nl=1&uc=18&isFromRichUpload=1
We’ll be driving about 50 miles up to Mt. Vernon tomorrow, to check out where Good Ol’ George lived, so there’s more history coming your way…

I’m so brief, though, that it shouldn’t hurt too much…
Take care and keep in touch!
