We lived in Southern Maryland for 5 years; Lyndsay has lived 20 miles from old Downtown Fredericksburg for almost 3 years and until yesterday, we have never spent any amount of time there. I quickly learned what we have been missing. Lyndsay, Olivia, Steve and I had some time after an appointment so we spent it walking around enjoying a "step back in time".
I love antiques and I love browsing through antique shops. I think I could spend a week in old Downtown Fredericksburg and still not have seen all the antiques contained within the plethora of shops and malls. Because we didn't have much time, I resisted the urge to enter these stores and just spent the time window browsing. But rest assured, I will be spending a day there before we leave for the next leg of our trip.
The fall decorations only enhanced the beauty of the scenery.
There was a touch of modern as well: this lovely dress was in a shop window
I can never resist capturing a precious shot of Lyndsay and Olivia
That same night we met Sean in a town about an hours away for dinner and a few drinks. Danielle (Sean's significant other) was not able to join us as she is finishing up her final semester at college.
We met at The Green Turtle in LaPlata where they have the best crab dip in Southern Maryland. Some got a little loopy on a delicious concoction called Fruity Loop; however, not the two guys pictured here. That's all I'll say about that.
There is nothing in this world as fulfilling as spending quality fun time with family. Wishing Heather, Andrea and their families were here as well.
Looks like you are having a fun trip! I love the photos of the shops and dress!Sean look so much like Steve it is amazing! Very handsome men. Thanks for sharing your blog with us. We are all doing well. Kiley had a great birthday. I got Kiley a new camera so she'll be taking pictures like crazy. And Derrick got her a new printer so she can print them! Love you guys. Keep having the time of your lives!
