High time for spring

Well springtime is upon us, and I for one am ready. Although this winter was mild, I like spring in Northern Virginia. The mornings and evenings are cool and the days are nice. We have not had as much rain as we normally do, and I am okay with that also. The allergies are acting up, for my wife, and a little rain would help her. However it makes my grass, more like my collection of weeds, grow to fast for me to handle.

I am home now grilling in the yard. Cooking enough meat for the week, and then I will relax, eat, and catch up on some of the blogs I like to read.

I want to say thanks to all who post, I am really enjoying this challenge. It has made it clear that I have a long way to go to become a good blogger. None the less, I am having fun with A to Z challenge. I believe over the rest of the challenge I will present a few if the countries I have visited.

Well, let me get back to the grill, one of my favorite spring time activities, you all have a great night.

I want you to all to know that the appreciate everything that you did for me the last week I was in town. I love you guys. Keep looking back, I will try to post some images of the new place tonight. I have a few things to take care of around town, and then on Friday, I will be taking my father back home. I got a first floor apartment that you had to travel up 14 steps to get into. It was funny. My father has bad knees and agreed to assist me if I lived on the first floor. I sure fooled him. He was a great help, but he has decided that I have to make a lot of friends here, because he isn't going to help me move out. Just to recap I was in NE Florida, I moved to DC, My o

"G" is for Gettysburg

Gettysburg PA, the site of an important battle from the United States Civil War.  Living in Northern VA, not all travel destination require us to get on a plane.  The Gettysburg National Military Park is a prime example.  This park has been featured in several movies, including Gettysburg, as well as Remember the Titans.  If you are a Civil War buff, or American History buff, this is a place to visit.  I believe the military study of this battle has been extensive. The battle of Gettysburg ended Robert E Lee's second invasion of the North during the Civil War. It was the bloodiest battle in the a war, with somewhere around 51,000 americans being killed on the field. This year is the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.  There are several events planned. The park is located in Gettysburg PA.  It is about 90 miles north of DC, located in central southern Pennsylvania.
