Magic

Magic likes to escape the city on long weekends, so he decided to head to Fawn Lake for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. His main plans for the weekend were rest and relaxation, but of course he couldn’t go all that way without hitting Old Town Fredericksburg and Central Park for some shopping (and treats). He first went to Fredericksburg, where he poked around the antiques shops, purchased a fun bag at Legacy Distinctive Home Accents (he recommends the store for gifts), and admired the Valentine’s tree in The Griffin Bookshop and Coffee Shop (no reason to throw out the tree just because Christmas is over).


All the shopping made him hungry, so he stopped for lunch at Las Palmas Café, a Puerto Rican restaurant. He enjoyed his meal, but sadly they were out of tres leches, his favorite cake.


After supporting the town’s local businesses Magic decided it was time to hit the big chains (what can he say, he likes his big-box stores). His first stop was Walmart, where he stocked up on household essentials, followed by a trip to the Spotsylvania Towne Center. He wasn’t really in the mood to deal with the crowd at the mall, but was happy to hit Costco, where he satisfied his sweet tooth with frozen yogurt (of utmost importance as he had been denied his cake).


Otherwise, Magic spent the majority of the weekend enjoying elegant home cooked meals and lazing in front of the fireplace, cognac in hand. Good thing it’s only four weeks until the next long weekend!
