In Fredericksburg

After xmas day we made our way down to Fredericksburg. Of course there was traffic on I-95 and the trip that should take around 45 min took about 2 hours. The smooth ride of the Nielsen's minivan put me out.

In an effort to get out and get some exercise (to fight of the calories of home made brownies), yesterday we walked from The Crains' house (our good friends that are putting us up) to downtown Fredericksburg for some cafe at Hyperion coffee.
We crossed the Falmouth bridge to get to "cute", historic, olde town Fredericksburg. The bridge indicates there is a bike route somewhere - we're assuming you're supposed to ride right off the bridge.

The cute town is in the background behind the Denverite with the espresso:

On the walk back we took a shortcut through this historic property - civil war era mansion, not quite a plantation. Sandy made himself into a human statue:

Oh, the shining star of Fredericksburg (not really) - they have a Hardees! I didn't think they still existed and, honestly, we weren't excited but we were surprised.

Stay tuned for more amazing adventures.
