This weekend I decided to bring out the civil war buff in me. It started on Saturday afternoon when I spontaneously threw my bike into my car and drove down to Chancellorsville near Fredericksburg. (This is where Stonewall Jackson was killed). Well I started getting into it, so I drove down to Spotsylvania Court House.
Instead of returning back to Arlington like I originally planned, I decided to continue driving to Petersburg where I got a hotel - even though I had no change of clothes. So today, I visited Petersburg (Battle of the Crater) and Richmond (Cold Harbor and Gaines Mill) before I returned home.
I’ll write more about my journeys. But I am seriously thinking about getting a laptop so I can summarize what happened at the end of the day - instead of waiting until I get back.
