Warsaw, VA

There are several small towns north of Kilmarnock - where we do most of our shopping - that are on the the way to Fredericksburg, VA, which is about 80 miles from us. One of them is named Warsaw - who wouldn't want to check out a town named Warsaw? It was closer to us at around 30 miles, so we drove there to check it out. It was not a memorable town. It was basically similar to the rest of these small Virginia Towns with some nice, old Victorian homes, a short Main Street downtown, and not many eateries or shopping plazas. We saw the signs to George Washington's Birthplace National Monument but that was another 50 miles away, so we passed on that for now.

One thing we both commented about on the way home from Warsaw was how much we missed traveling around northwestern Wyoming. The landscape is much more to our liking and the fact that we could pack a lunch and stop just about anywhere on a trip to eat vs. here, where it's all fields of corn, rolling hills and, not any distinguishing landscape at all. There are no places to pull over and have a picnic lunch. I guess the real attractions are the Chesapeake Bay, Williamsburg, and the towns surrounding Williamsburg where the area is heaped with Revolutionary War history. We will be very anxious to visit those areas as our time here goes on and the weather becomes more consistently clear. Also, we plan to take a trip to Washington D.C. while we are here and spend a night or two while there. If push came to shove, I also miss seeing wildlife while driving around.

Our neighbors were all out cutting the grass around their rigs yesterday, so I guess we will have to trim ours today so that we can keep things looking nice. There are mowers and weed eaters that we borrow from the maintenence shed here to do the job. It still bothers me that we have to maintain our own spaces while here - a first in any of the places we've worked. Oh, well.

We're close to A/C time as the low yesterday and last night was 72, with a high of 86. We had the A/C on for a while last night before going to bed, but it was bearable enough to turn off while sleeping. I'm sure we will turn it on again today as it is already 76 outside at 8:30 AM. It comes with the territory. Have a great day everybody...
