Today made our way to the Silver Diner in the Dale City area and had fun eating and people watching.

Traded books at the used book store (C&W).

C&W Used Books (14583 Potomac Mills Rd, Woodbridge VA 22192-6808,
703-491-7323).  “The best used bookstore I’ve shopped.  (Please
take that with a grain of salt, as this is the first major
metropolitan area in which I’ve lived).  Their selection is as
large as I’ve seen, organized by genre, and alphabetically;
their prices are very reasonable (which is rare enough in this
area); and they encourage book donations for store credit. 
They have a large genre sections, as well as a small selection
of audio CDs and comics.” 

Traveled at 15 MPH south on 95 to Fredricksburg for some fun shopping.

How was O’Charley’s? I haven’t tried it yet. Isn’t traffic a nightmare on 95, summer weekends particularly? I live a mile from 95 and even closer to Rt. 1 but often feel a prisoner in the summer because I don’t want to fight the traffic. Take care. *smile*
