Sam and I had not seen the UMW campus or downtown Fredericksburg, so we drove down to see the campus, shop at the bookstore and have lunch in old town. In all my years in the DC area, I had never visited old town Fredericksburg. I have been near it many times, playing golf or hiking one of the civil war battlefields in the area but not downtown. It's cool, sort of like old town Alexandria. Mary Washington sits just outside the historic center and is an easy walk to all sorts of shops and restaurants. It was a nice New Year's Eve excursion, just an hour down and back. Now we need to get Dylan out to Drake. It will be good for both of them to visualize the environment the other one is in next year. They moved from the same womb, to the same room, to separate rooms on the same floor to 1,000 miles apart in different states. It will be strange.
