The runs

One thing that surprised me somewhat when I moved out here was that there are several, what I would call creeks or streams, all over the place. They call them runs. I guess that is short for run off?

They also had streets like Holmes Run Road which went parallel to Holmes Run.

Yesterday, I finally understood why they called the Civil War battle, the Battle of Bull Run. What was there a bunch of cattle in the way?

We went to the Manassas battlefield. It was a very nice day out and got some good historical references.

After touring the grounds of "StoneWall" Jackson's stand, we went to Logan's Roadhouse. A favorite of my sisters. I thought it was South of Woodbridge. Well, there is one way down in Fredericksburg.
