Spent Tuesday in Fredericksburg. We need at least a couple more days for this place (we probably could spend a week). The amount of history here is unbelievable. We took a trolley tour that lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes, and saw so many sites that it would take a couple of days to investigate them all further. Old Fredericksburg goes back to the 1700's, and over 80% of the buildings are still there, and original (No reproductions).
George Washington grew up here, his mother is burried here, everybody who was anybody in the 1700's and 1800's has some connection here. There are thousands of Civil War casualties burried in the cemeteries here,
As I write this on Wednesday morning, we are preparing to head out to Bluff City Tennessee where we will spend 2 nights before heading to the Nashville area, where we hope to connect with Gail and Randy, and with our cruise mates Karen and George.
So now it's off to Tennessee, Ernie
