With the older boys off skiing one last time with their Grandparents, Randy and I headed south to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.virginiawind.com\/virginia_travel\/fredericksburg.asp\">Fredericksburg<\/a> to enjoy the beautiful day and stroll around Old Town. This picturesque town is so incredibly rich with history; once home to George Washington, James Madison, and James Monroe.\u00a0 I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweetbeadstudio.com\/?p=720\">an old blog post <\/a>that I wrote a couple years ago when visiting Fredericksburg, and had to laugh to myself.\u00a0 Two years later I&#8217;m talking about doing the<em> same<\/em> things&#8230;.I can&#8217;t be called fickle when it comes to my favorite pastimes.<\/p>\n<p>Okay so maybe I like to do some of the same &#8216;ole things.\u00a0 I was inspired though to see something <em>different<\/em> on this visit.\u00a0 See the town from a new perspective.\u00a0 When you stroll through streets lined with such\u00a0incredible architecture &#8211; from the buildings to the homes, it may be easy to overlook some of the best details.\u00a0 This time I made a point to look<em> up <\/em>and admire the details from the rooftops down.\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;m glad I did.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5716   aligncenter\" title=\"fredericksburgrooftops_2\"
