Tricia loved the flowers but coudln't stand the heat.

Sam at Madison's Temple
on to Chancellorsville
We needed to stop for the necessities and stumbled upon
Where Stonewall Jackson got fatally wounded.
We stumbled onto the 2012 Luminaria at the Fredeicksburg National Cemetery
We came back the next day to pay our respects and was solemnly awed at the stirring evidence of the tragic scope of this one event in the Civil War and knowing how much more there was.

Tricia wanted a view of the Rappahannock River from the Fredericksburg side so we went to the Chatham house. Because of time we could not spend any time looking at the house there is a lot of history that we had to forego. i wanted to see the John Marshall house in Richmond and it was only open on this day so we beat it down to Richmond to see the John Marshall house.

looking towards the Rappahannock River
John Marshall House.
John Marshall is one of my current projects i could not miss see his place. What a great tour.
We went to an old Tobacco Factory that is currently a very good and fun restaurant.
