This past weekend we went to a craft fair in Bedford, Virginia. It was a lot of fun and we got to see another wonderful town here in Central Virginia. But one of my son's favorite things was getting to meet some of the Bedford police.
We met a very nice policeman who even started his police cruiser, turned on the lights, and let David sit in the driver's seat. It was a dream come true for David. And the dream was made all that much better by the fact that the police cruiser was David's favorite car—the Dodge Charger. We wanted to purchase this car ourselves until the gas prices started sky-rocketing. And our decision not to buy it was confirmed by the police officer who told us that it gets about 6 miles per gallon in city driving.
But it's still an awesome car!
I love the town of Bedford. We visited the D-Day Museum there and saw a little of the surrounding countryside, too. I really like that part of Virginia. For the time being, though, we are staying put, since my husband commutes to the Pentagon, his aging parents relocated here from California and our three children live in this area. We'll have to be content with the occasional visit. :) Blessings and peace from Peggy
ReplyDeletePeggy - if you're ever coming to the Bedford area in the future, give me a heads up. We'll meet up with you or have you over for dinner. Kim and I would love to show you our town. Seriously - we'd love to have you visit.
ReplyDeleteRichard, thank you kindly. We'll do that next time we head down that way. Ditto for you here in F'burg. Wishing you a happy and peaceful day, Peggy
