Hi from Jenny

Your weekly run down of Family Fun in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford, VA

By Jenny Sites November 5, 2020

Hello Macaronians!

I hope you all had a great week and a fun Halloween. Our family had a great Halloween, despite skipping the annual Halloween party and trick or treating this year.  We carved pumpkins, had a Halloween scavenger hunt, made bat cookies and watched Halloween movie.



Veteran's Day is Wednesday, November 11th.    A Huge Shout Out to our Veterans - Thank you for your service!

Here's a list of Veteran's Day Discounts. Some deals run the month of November, some for a week and others only on Veterans Day.  Other's are open to all military, so if you're a Vet or active duty, be sure to scroll all the way through the list to see what you qualify for!


National Parks are open for FREE to Everyone on Veteran's Day - so be sure to visit one!


With the holidays coming everyone is looking for more ways to save money.  Here are some Tips for Saving Money at the Grocery store and a creative solution to use less paper towels. 


Our family has recently started enjoying taking road trips around Virginia when we get a chance.  I have decided to do a new "Travel Virginia" article every few weeks so we can share some fun new places that you might not know about. Each article will have some information on the location, plus the amount of time it takes to drive from the Fredericksburg area. Some are great day trips and others make for a fun overnight or long weekend.  We hope this inspires you to get out and see the state!
