So last Sunday we were in Williamsburg - then to Fredricksburg and today we are in Washington DC at Andrew's Air Force Base. I will do my best to catch you up...I feel I need a little catching up too :)
As Daddy left you last week, we were so enjoying out beautiful surroundings at Navy base in WIlliamsburg, which many of you saw the pictures we posted. Crazy beautiful!!
You know how he said we kept getting lost? Well it kept on happening...All I have to say is if you happen to go to WIlliamsburg - Take a good map of the area, the one they gave us didn't work...OH and you probably won't be staying on base, and that is where our real problems were...so never mind...Just stay downtown where all the fun stuff is and you will be just fine...Make sure you check out the farmers market too!
We then went to Fort A.P. Hill right outside of Fredricksburg in a little town called Bowling Green. Let me just tell you...the little downtown parts of these towns are sooo quaint. I so could live at any of these little places. Love the history connected to the towns...Or should I say I love learning the history of these little towns. I am learning so much, things are coming alive when you are actually right where things happened. And while I am on the learning subject, I must confess and share one of the biggest AHH HAA moments I had...as we were crossing James river Momma said this was the river that John Smith sailed in on and the whole Pocahontas story happened...I was like WHAT?!?! POCAHONTAS IS REAL? HA - WHO KNEW? Apparently a lot of people knew that it wasn't JUST a Disney movie. I have laughed so many times at "how did i miss that?" So let me just say that I did share this with others and I apparently am NOT the only one that didn't know it was a true story...So if you are one that didn't...YOU AREN'T ALONE! hehehehe
OK - so not on to the rest of my story for the week...We had a wonderful time going into Fredricksburg (no we didn't get lost). Found another amazing farmers market. I am really loving the beautiful flowers here...they just don't look like this in Florida. Oh got another funny...Here we are shopping at this beautiful market downtown Fredricksburg, all of the tomatoes they were selling had signs above them FLORIDA tomatoes...how funny...all the way up here in VA we got Florida tomatoes...and they were super yummy! Our campground wasn't as beautiful as the other, but we were next to a very interesting gentleman...Daddy met his match in the talking arena...WOW - first time we had to save Daddy....it is usually the other way around...we save the other person from Daddy. hehehehe
Also...we made our own butter!!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!! And let me just tell you...it tastes amazing!!!
Found a very friendly church in downtown Bowling Green to attend Sunday morning - they had an early service at 8:30 - which worked great since we were to head to DC that day.
We arrived at Andrews Air Force Base and Oh My WORD - this place is HUGE! It's like a little city behind those gates...they even have their own school...Crazy! But super cool - you wouldn't have to leave, well except to go see Washington :) lol...
We have our maps - we have our route - we have our metro passes....WE ARE READY!!! Tomorrow we begin our touristy stuff. It is so weird to think I am only a few miles away from the White House and all the other stuff...I can't wait to see it all!
We have met lots of people, been about to share our story and what we are doing. God just keeps going ahead of us and making our path straight.
Please continue to pray for us as we travel, God's plans and God's provisions over us. We are completely walking by faith and know He will provide our needs. Asking for eyes to see and ears to hear as we go. OH and please pray for me with all these HUGE bridges I am having to go over...I love the water, but this is really making me want to go INLAND!!! Why do they have to make them so HIGH! Please pray for me on days we travel...I have completely trusting in God to drive us from place to place!
More pics at the bottom....I am so in love with the trees up here - they are so beautiful!
Love you all ~

I am so glad you got to see Rolling Thunder. I miss going there now. Were you able to go to the Memorial Day Concert? Did you see the Point Man Ministry tent at the Wall? We had a good service here in Ocala. Getting over my surgery God Bless
