State Number 3 - Welcome to the Commonwealth of Virginia



We've now made it to state number 3 - Virginia!  Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" and was the birthplace of 8 US Presidents.  Anyone know who all 8 of those presidents are?

Another trivia question - Virginia is one of four states that designate themselves as Commonwealths.  We've got people living in two of those Commonwealths, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.  Anyone know what the fourth Commonwealth is?

Here is a picture of the Virginia flag:


We've actually made it through quite a bit of Virginia, and our now .9 miles away from Jetersville, Virginia, no relationship to Derek.  Jetersville is part of Amelia County.  It looks like quite a small town in a small county of 11,000 people.



The county is served by the weekly Amelia Bulletin Monitor.  When I checked out the paper's website they had a breaking news bulletin -
