Day Trip from Lake Anna to Williamsburg, VA

One of the benefits of living at Lake Anna is that you are in Central Virginia.  What is great about that is the fact you are out in the country, enjoying all the wonderful aspects of country living while still close to many of the wonderful things Virginia offers.

Williamsburg happens to be one of those special places in Virginia and it is not that far from the lake.  IWilliamsburg RR Station make the trip often as my daughter and her family live there.  From door to door it is about 90 minutes. 

It is easy to accomplish even in during a day trip.  Allow enough time to visit Colonial Williamsburg and even some time to do a little shopping at the famed Pottery or at the various outlet stores.  If you are really giving yourself a treat you can stroll through the specialty shops in the colonial section of town.

On a recent visit to Williamsburg I enjoyed seeing the flowers blossoming by the railroad station and others by the downtown library.

As much as I love visiting Williamsburg it is nice to know I have Lake Anna to come home to when my trip is over.

Mischief in Fredericksburg, VA

Oh, oh.  There's been a little mischief going on here at home.  Thank goodness I have just the place to go to replace my ornament.  I will just take a quick drive down to 1021 Caroline Street to Old Town Fredericksburg where I'll run into Whittingham's and then.........................well, it will not be that easy.  After all there are so many ornaments to choose from even now. 

So if you are looking for the perfect decoration for your home, an unusual ornament for your tree or a unique gift for the special ones in your life, follow me to Whittingham's.  You will  delight in the choices you have.  I suppose I must warn you.  Allow enough time as this is one store it is very hard to simply walk in and back out. 

One more thing, before walking through that door take a good long look at the display in the window.  Whittingham is known throughout the area for its creative displays.  This year's will delight you.  Especially if you enjoy the antics of these mischiveous mice.

These are some of the mice cavorting around Whittingham.  Much of the time they are in the front windows so you can get an eyeful.  These photos give you some idea of the delightful sights to be seen both inside and outside this one of a kind shop that has been a Fredericksburg favorite for 35 years.
