Vacation!
Hurray, vacation was tons of fun and a great time of renewal and relaxation. First, Brian visited in Columbus with a good friend from Hiram college. Then we drove to Baltimore and saw Emily, Brian and Sydney. Brian Hair went to D.C. while I visited with my sis. She cooked dinner for us and then we were off to Manassas, VA, for the next part of our trip. In the morning and after visiting a battlefield where the Civil War began, we ventured to the Littlepage Inn which was near Mineral, Virginia. The Inn was centrally located and we visited four other battlefields in the vicinity. We loved the Inn because it was very relaxing there. We were awakened each morning by the mooing cows and tweeting birds. Great! Littlepage Inn recently renovated the swimming pool which was an added bonus. The Union soldiers after winning one of the battles came across the home at Littlepage. Everything was well preserved (lots of letters and stuff). It was an interesting place, very charming and unique. Who knew we were only about one and 1/2 miles from Lake Anna (which was quite the boating location!). We did go to the beach one day, but we preferred solitude and rest. One morning I saw a fox running by. In the evening, owls perched in the cedar trees lining the drive. They were about 3 ft. tall and beautiful! All in all, it was a great trip.
Happy day,
