Virginia

There’s a crispness in the air here…

here for a school function. It would’ve been nicer though, if the people around me nagged me less.

Virginia is awesome! I loved the beach, Colonial Williamsburg, and the Tyson’s Corner Mall. I also enjoyed Busch Gardens and the beauty of the state. I liked seeing the Arlington National Cementary and the home of Thomas Jefferson. This is a great place to go, I want to go back now!!!

I was born in Richmond and lived there until I was ten. I visited frequently throughout my young adult life, and moved back in 2001 to Roanoke to be near my sister. My family and I spent a year there, and realized South Carolina was home, and we returned to SC. I still visit my sister often in Roanoke and will always hold a special place in my heart for my home state.

The bits I saw (Dulles) weren’t worth visiting, but I’m sure there are other parts of the state that are…

wish i could have visited the cia building… oh well

One of my favorite places here is hollywood cemetery. If you are into that sort of thing you will love it.

Such a pretty place! But cold in the winter, hot in the summer. I should know, I was stranded there for a year hehe. I’m one of those pussycat girls that likes to curl up by the fireplace when the temperature drops under 50F =P Imagine how Miserable I was at freezing temperatures half the year!

What is with this place?? Winter lasts forever!

I rather enjoyed visiting the sites of the original American colonies. American history is generally boring until you actually see something of it. And I must admit that standing on the bow of a ship of a similar make as the one’s that crossed the Atlantic hundreds of years ago, I had to respect history a bit more than I had previously. I also enjoyed it when my friend heckled the various period characters walking around about their slaves.
