The spring of 2009 we were privileged to be part of a Mission's Conference in Richmond, Virginia. While in the area we were treated to a day trip to the historical sites around the city, including the White House of the Confederacy. On the way home we stopped in Lexington, VA to see Stonewall Jackson's grave and Lee's Chapel. It was so neat to see and learn even more about the lives of these great men.

We were also able to see some of the grandeur of the Jefferson Hotel. The stain glass was gorgeous. I would love to spend a night there. Maybe for an anniversary. One can dream.

The White House of the Confederacy, where President Davis and his family lived for several years. It was so neat to catch a glimpse of their lives.

At Stonewall Jackson's tomb the kids wanted to know why there were lemons all over the ground. Many of the visitor's to the cemetery leave lemons instead of flowers.
While in Lexington we were also able to see Traveler's Grave. People leave pennies on this tombstone just outside of Lee's chapel.
The kids really enjoyed the chance to get out and stretch their legs.

After all of the sight seeing our kids were really worn out! Caleb put on a brave face but he was not far behind Bekah-Lynn.
