Fun in Fredericksburg

We traveled today to attend a special basketball game and because traffic was so light around the DC beltway we arrived very early.  We stopped by the Fredericksburg Battlefield visitor's center  for a look around.  This is a Civil War area that we have not explored yet and look forward to going back.  It was raining and we were in and out a bit until the history buffs bought tickets to see a movie in the museum.  That meant that Mason and I could roam the old cemetery and search for cannons.  (He calls them "canyons".)  

Gotta love these OLD trees.



See who's hiding behind this one?







He took interest in every map and photograph.

Wanted to know how each cannon worked
and if he was alive when people used them for real.



Well the rain picked up and the movie ended so off to the game we go.



  

Mason is a BIG fan!!!


 




BIG WIN!!!
