Saturday Peter and i went with Shields and Annie to fredricksburg VA. Once we hit the blue and grey highway we knew we were there. As you may recall we enjoy touring old battlefields so this cute little town was right up our alley.
We walked around town a little and then wandered over to the Chatham Mannor to see where the civil war hospital was. Clara Barton had played a big part at this hospital, which i enjoyed because i've always liked clara since i read a book about her in second grade.
In this house peter pointed out to me what I had thought was an ordinary leather chair. This chair had a mirror under it revealing its true identity (and the sign said so as well). It was a toilet. Then the sign then went on to said that George Washington, James Madison, Robert E Lee etc all "used this chair". hehehe i'm sooo mature
