I was a little bummed when we left because the Temecula stake was going to have an awesome speaker come for a 4 stake fireside on the Sunday I would be gone! Low and behold, the very same speaker, Brad Wilcox, was here in Virginia, presenting at Time Out! He did not disappoint! His talk was very powerful! We went up to meet him and told him that we were probably the furtherest attendees at this conference and the funny thing was, he'd be in our hometown tomorrow!! The conference was just incredible! It was uplifting and inspiring..just the boost I was looking for!
During our lunch break, we walked around and found the Capitol building. For being the capitol of a state, it was a pretty quiet downtown. It was almost like a ghost town. I guess not much happens in Richmond!
Although we probably didn't hit the leaves at there peak, the colors were still gorgeous!
After the conference, we drove about an hour northwest to Fredericksburg, Va. Theresa's brother in law lives here and we were going to stay with his family for the night. We walked around some old war battlefields and another cemetery. This stonewall is the original wall built by some confederates during the war as a shield to protect themselves. I'm loving that anywhere you go in Virginia, it's like walking through a history book.
