I was in Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia and immediately fell in love with those states. Except for Washington DC most of the area is still quite rural and they are not in a hurry to have Developments dotting their landscape. It was a very enriching and educational experience for me. I noticed many Plantation houses dotted the landscape, a grim reminder of the not too distant past. Wakefield is located in Westmoreland County Virginia and is right off of a main stretch of Highway.
