If you are in the market to buy a foreclosure home, there are a few things you will need to know when you write a contract. First is we are seeing the banks, sometimes, take their time getting a ratified contract to you, the buyer (ratified means signed by all parties) often times, it is difficult to proceed with the loan process without this, or even order the appraisal for that matter. Also, this could affect your interest rate, if you have not locked in...be prepared for the process and be patient...If you need a loan...give me...Benny McKee a call 703 407 9398

Looking for the perfect place to celebrate and spend some of that hard earned dough you've been pulling in??? Well, have I got the place for you! For a scrumptious dinner and decadent dessert La Petite Auberge will definitely indulge you. This downtown establishment is favorite to many locals and for good reason. They have been serving some of the finest French Cuisine in the area for well over two decades. I have never been disappointed with a meal there, be it lunch or dinner. Always a variety of fresh seasonal dishes and local seafood to choose from. Not to mention some of the most evil sweets that will ever grace your taste buds. The atmoshphere is a blend of quaint, romantic, and bistro-esque...you may also dine outside weather permitting. My last glorious experience at La Petite was for my birthday lunch in November with my closest team members and friends, and as usual I was not disappointed! So, the next time you have a closing, treat yourself to a fabulous lunch or dinner at La Petite Auberge...I promise you won't be disappointed~

However, they are closed on Sundays...just so you don't get worked up for nothing!

The City of Fredericksburg, Virginia is basically in the middle of Richmond and Washington, D.C. It takes about an hour to get to Richmond or Washington, D.C. (non rush hour) on Interstate 95.

The City of Fredericksburg is surrounded by Stafford County to the north, Spotsylvania County to the south and King George to the east.

Today, my daughter and I took one of our daddy/daughter walks through historic Fredericksburg. Everytime we go it brings back childhood memories. I grew up in Stafford and Fredericksburg is where you went shopping. We didn't even have a grocery store in Stafford when I was a kid.

On today's trip my daughter, Sydney, was the tour guide. We went to the stores that she wanted. Her favorite store is the Cat's Closet. This shop has everything pertaining to cats. They even have 3 cats living in the store. Next door, to the right, is our friends jewelry store called Bejeweled Designs. It's a great name for her store since her name is Christine Jewel. She makes a lot of her own jewelry. I was informed, before Christmas, by my wife that she carries Pandora bracelets. I got the hint.

It was a little chilly and windy outside so we headed for Goolrick's Pharmacy to get some hot chocolat. This place has been around since the Civil War. Goolrick's is the only place that I know of that still makes a Cherry Smash. If you haven't had one, you don't know what you're missing. My standard meal there is a tuna salad on wheat toasted, chips, pickle and a chocolat ice cream soda.

From there we headed to the old Woolworth's store. When I was a kid my mother would take us to Woolworths's fountain to get a bowl of ice cream. Now the store is an antique mall. There are antique shops everywhere in Fredericksburg and I love antiqueing.

From there we went to Dog Crazy to see the English Bulldog named Piglet. A few stores down the Kitchen of Wellington still had thier candy castle in the display case. It is made of gum drops, rock candy and ice cream cones. My daughter's "coat of many colors" compliments the castle.

The sun was starting to set and so was the temperature. We decided it was time to head home. If this was a warm day we would have stopped by Carl's to get some frozen custard ice cream.

I really cherish these daddy/daughter moments. I do special things with my son and my wife, too. Everyone should have something special that they do with their family individually. As long as I can get around I plan on taking these trips with Sydney for the rest of our lives. Who knows, maybe some day I'll have a grand daughter and I can take her on the same trips.
