Oct 22 – We’ve been enjoying our “down time” at Loreann’s. It’s kind of nice to have a whole house to move around in and not be confined to the motorhome. The weather has been cool and breezy the entire time we’ve been here. It’s been pretty nice actually.
We really haven’t done much sightseeing since we’ve been here. We all have been to the major sights on previous trips to DC. However, we did walk around the battle grounds of the Battle of the Bulge in Manassas. We saw old cannons and a couple of large statues depicting famous generals like Stonewall Jackson. He apparently got his name from that battle. When the enemy was firing and charging towards him and his men he firmly kept his ground. One of his officers described the scene to someone else and said that in the face of grave danger he just stood there like a stone wall, hence his nickname of Stonewall Jackson.
Val had a filling come out of one of her teeth so had to make an appointment with a local dentist. It’s a two step process, I guess, and she has to go back next Tuesday, Oct 26th for the final treatment. We’ll leave for the Richmond, VA area after she’s finished with that.
