Remember Me?

Wow - a new post from me!!  You know, it's that time of year when there is not enough time left in a day to do everything you want to do .... plus I'm a little lazy!  I actually did a lot of things in the summer that I usually am rushing around trying to finish everything - like my calendars, Christmas cards, etc!  But a friend of mine chastised me this week for not updating my blog so here you go!

Ashley was not able to come home for Thanksgiving so we drove to Maryland to see her instead.  We are afraid it will be the same for Christmas due to Corona Virus.  We always have fun when we are together and this trip was not an exception.  We drove to a small town in Virginia that had several breweries.  The weather was perfect for our stroll through the town stopping at 4 or 5 breweries that offered outdoor seating.  We each found a beer that we liked.  Ashley and I shared the different beers but of course not Sonny!

On Saturday we drove to Fort Belvoir in Virginia to tour the newest military museum that had just opened on Veterans Day.   The National Museum of the United States Army is the official museum for the history of the US Army.  The objectives of the museum are to honor America's soldiers, preserve Army history, and educate the public about the Army's role in American history.  Exhibits include Gen. Douglas MacArthur's famous cap; the "tinpot" helmet worn by WWI Medal of Honor recipient Sg. Alvin York; and a WWII Sherman tank called the "Cobra King" chich was the first to break through German lines to help besieged troops at Bastogne.  Another cool artifact is the sword carried by Capt. John Berry in the War of 1812 against the British at the battle of Fort McHenry.  That battle inspired Francis Scott Key to write the "Star Spangled Banner."
