As watches often do, mine needed a new battery as it had stopped several days prior. I had gotten tired of wearing a watch that wasn't working, glancing at my wrist only to remind myself that it wasn't really 1pm several days prior. So I stopped at this mall in hopes of finding a place that could replace the battery. Among the plethora of other stores, I did indeed find a fellow who did watch repairs. Success was ever so sweet, and it is certainly nice to actually be able to look down and see the correct time again.

I totally wish I had more time to visit the many historic sites that are around Fredericksburg! It is quite the history mecca with Civil War sites, historic homes, a cemetery, and a nice waterfront area. I look forward to coming back to check out all of the good information I got from the visitor's center!

I enjoy going to a new place to see what sorts of different things they have that I've not tried before. I enjoyed myself some delicious blueberry iced tea. It was really delicate in flavor and a wonderful treat since the day was unseasonably warm for April. Definitely made for a nice addition while walking around the adorable town of Fredericksburg!

It was here that I discovered my favorite drink is back, the peach green tea lemonade! It is a warm weather favorite, and I always get happy when the peach flavor is back. Generally it means the cold is on its way out, the warmth and fun times are on their way back in.And while it's certainly not been the best of weather as of late, it's definitely been weather where it doesn't hurt to breath outside, or you can stand outside with a light jacket and not freeze. Bring on the warmth!

Man, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the Earl of Sandwich. The last time I had enjoyed that was down in Orlando, Florida as we don't have those around by where I live. So it was a nice treat to find out that this rest area had one! It was a nice treat to break up a long drive home.

I was so excited that I was able to visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial this trip. I had not been back to Washington, D.C. since they had completed the memorial. It was absolutely wonderful. I thought the quotes that they had there were extremely thought provoking, and the location was perfect. It is a very appropriate tribute to an important figure in history. I am so glad the trip into D.C. included this memorial as it was one of the few I hadn't yet visited.

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is an extremely memorable, somber, and all around educational place to attend. I've been to the museum several times, and am impressed by their poignant exhibits. I believe this should be a required visit while in D.C. for everyone. I attended for the first time on a class trip back in middle school, and this experience was no less moving.

One of my favorite Starbucks things is the free item you get around your birthday for being a member! I always make sure to get myself a nice little treat to celebrate when it is that time of year. I also determined that they do free refills in the same visit of some of the less complicated drinks, which was pretty neat! Usually I am a drink on the run sort of person, but I definitely appreciate that option.

I went with several other folks to visit Mount Vernon, which was home to George Washington for quite some time. It was a really beautiful expanse of property even in the dead of winter. You could tell how wonderful and bustling it must have been during its heyday, overlooking the river with a large plot of land for animals, fruit groves, and gardening. The house itself was pretty impressive with several wings and lots of out buildings! I am so glad I was able to visit there and would recommend it to anyone, regardless of your history buff status!

It was a lovely fall day, and we decided to play some more foot golf! It is a fun mash up between golf and soccer (football for my international friends). It's usually played on a golf course, has a par similar to golf, and you kick the ball to get it in the oversized hole. It's definitely a good work out between the kicking and the walking. When played with a good group, it's a great way to spend an afternoon! Looking forward to playing more foot golf once the weather warms back up again in the spring!
