We live really close to the big Manassas Battlefield. It's where the famous Bull Run Battle was fought during the Civil War. Pretty cool place to explore. It was really hot that day so we didn't walk around too much. We'll have to go back.
On another day we checked out the upper floors of the Natural History Museum. That place is huge! We've been twice and still haven't seen it all. We checked out their giant mineral/gem collection as well as a big space dedicated to geology and volcanoes. It was pretty cool. There's also a big section on bones. We saw this sea turtle that lives in the Atlantic. They average 8ft! Craziness. It's a very fun museum for kids!
On one of the random days in between, the girls and I ran to Walmart for a few things. We were in the store only about 15 minutes tops. It was a very quick trip. I remember clearly parking by no one. No car on either side of me. When we walked back to the car I immediately noticed damage to the drivers side of my van. I couldn't even believe it. This is my new van dang it. There was no one there to explain or offer help. There was no note left on my windshield. Nothing. I sat there for probably another 15 minutes unsure about what to do and hoping someone would come back. I looked around the parking lot for any witnesses, but there was no one. At last I called my insurance agent and asked what I should do. Since it's considered a hit and run I'm only on the hook for the first $200 in damages. When I took it in for an estimate it was over $1000. Sheesh! Makes me super angry. Not only do I have to shell out a couple hundred bucks, and live without my van for a week, but I had to file a claim. Now who knows what will happen to my rates. They better not go up. Enough of my ranting. It was a less than awesome day.
