Houston...... We have a problem!








Well it wasn't as big a problem as we thought.  Last night we moved the RV to Lake Anna SP and while setting up for the evening Karen and I were on one side of the RV connecting the water hose and electric and Karen heard a clicking noise and asked me what it was.  I removed the panel where the clicking noise was coming from and found the back of our refrigerator.  The sound was the igniter trying to light the propane for the fridge, because we hadn't yet hooked up to electric.  Karen asked if we were out of gas and I thought we couldn't have gone through 60lbs of propane that fast but I looked anyway.  What do you know!!!  The tanks are empty!  Not because we used it all, but because one of the hose connections to the propane bottle cracked and all the propane leaked out. We found an RV parts store local to Fredericksburg so we went into town and replaced the part and $42 worth of propane!

After that stop, we went on into Fredericksburg and spent a few hours seeing the town and going through a tour of Rising Sun Tavern and Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop.  It was very interesting to hear how the people lived back then and the medicines they used.  Kaylee and Bryson really enjoyed the part where they got to touch the live leeches that were used for medicinal purposes.  They also had fun in the candy store where they found this 5lb gummy worm! All in all it turned out to be another great day!
