First Stop....Virginia
Hello Everybody!!!
We hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving, and a great holiday weekend. We sure did! We spent Thanksgiving visiting family around Westchester and got a fabulous send off early Friday morning. The first leg of our trip (315 miles or so) went smoothly and we arrived in Fredricksburg, Virginia late Friday afternoon. We are staying at the KOA-Holiday, a quaint and quiet campground about an hour or so south of Wahington, D.C.
Saturday was our "tour day", and we headed to D.C. to take in the sights. The Metro (the train line here), is definitely NOT like our NY subways....they are clean AND on time 😊. Off to the Holocaust Museum we went, which I recommend everyone visit at least once in their lives. Then off to "The Mall" where we saw the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, even the World War II Memorial, (The Big One-as Greg reminds me)...It was truly an amazing day!!!
Sunday....well things did not go as planned. For those of you who may not know, Greg had surgery at the end of October, and while we got the okay from the doctor to hit the road, he suffered some complications that day, which landed him in the Hospital (2 different ones actually😒). I am happy to report, that the doctors here in Virginia were fabulous!! They quickly fixed and patched him up, and Greg is doing much better!!We are back in camp, and he is taking it easy for the next few days, per the doctor's orders. Needless to say, this has set back our itinerary a little bit, as we decided to stay for at least the rest of the week, again until he feels well enough and the doctor gives us a thumbs up. Unfortunately, we did have to cancel a few of our stops, namely Savannah and Orlando, but that's a small price to pay, knowing Greg is healthy.
Here are a few pictures...
