Virginia on My Mind

Spent the past few weeks with a couple days at a pop driving through eastern Virginia just south of the Potomac. Just sailing east on I-64 towards Richmond reminds me how much I love to see the historical markers for Civil War battlefields or other points of interest. All over the south, these signs entice drivers and tourist to stop and take a walk down memory lane. The roads around Richmond were littered with these markers. The ones that caught my attention were those marking items related to George Washington. Maybe next time I drive through I will find the time to stop and check out these snippets of days passed. After all, don't we all owe him just a bit of our time to show respect to him for all the time he spent for us.
