Fredricksburg Virginia

We spent a couple of days in Fredricksburg Virginia we saw lots of cool stuff. We mainly focus on Civil War battle scenes. Over the course of the war there were four battles in the area Chancellorsville, Wilderness, Spotsylania Courthouse and Fredericksburg.

We toured all of them, at least the day was not as hot as Gettysburg.

First Chancellorsville, this was a pretty important battle for the Confederates. They pushed the Federal troops back north in 1863, but they lost a important General due to this battle. Stonewall Jackson arm was shot off during a scouting trip in the battle. His arm was buried near this battle at the Lacy House. We are going to where he died tomorrow.












Where Chancellor House was.












Here I am really trying to get some AC , it was a hit day.

Then we went to Chatham Manor which was used as a hospital during the battle.






























Getting excited have to go to bed early, we are going to a couple of places then heading to the beach in the morning. It will be my first time , and we haven't had any rain the trip. I ' m learning how to really use to AC to my advantage. I haven't let mom have to passenger seat at all. I even sleep there at night , first come first serve.
