We’re home and it’s Monday and we’re back to work. We’re both working from home, digging out from under a mountain of emails that piled up over the last week.
That also means we’re back to lots of cat photos. Everything is back to normal now.
I mentioned the accident we drove past today. We were going North on route 95 and the accident was on the Southbound side. Jen was driving so I was able to grab a couple of pictures.
Just before the traffic went down the shitter this morning we stopped at the site of the Battle of Fredericksburg. Back in December of 1862 the US Army got its ass handed to it while trying to cross the road in the town of Fredericksburg, VA. It was a really crappy few days for the United States.
It’s our third Civil War battle site. We went to the site of the two battles of Bull Run in Manassas, VA a few years ago, and 15 years ago this week, on our honeymoon, we went to the site of the Battle of Gettysburg. The USA won that one so we’ve got that going for us.
We didn’t stay long today. We went to the visitors center and we walked a short way down the sunken road. I took a couple of pictures that don’t really show anything.
Just after I stopped this we saw the results of a terrible accident on the Southbound side of route 95. Hopefully everyone is okay…. But it sure doesn’t look like that will be the case.
The traffic in both Virginia and Maryland has been a complete nightmare. We’ve gone about 200 miles but should have been able to go twice that in the time we’ve been on the road today. The gridlock is just endless.
