Well how pretty pretty is that valley?! Watching this on TV at the moment. Rach has been Lexington Kentucky but not Lexington Virginia. The military institute looks really cool. We love watching your videos as we’re actually quite history buffs believe it or not and love learning about American history from you. Wow, the jacket with the bullet hole!!! Haha, I’d already written about being history buffs when you mentioned it yourself 😂. That burger looked pretty special too!!! Really did enjoy that both, as we do with all your vids. Nice one 🍻🤘🎸
Thank you SO much for your kind words and for watching! Shenandoah valley is breathtaking!!! We love history and learning, cannot wait to visit the UK we love your history too!!! Appreciate your support! Hope your relaxing after your beautiful holiday! ~Cara 😊
I was born in Stonewall Jackson's house in 1952. It was used as a community hospital. Thank you for showing respect to Lee and Jackson. Lexington is beautiful and hospitality through it has become more politically correct.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. We learned this on our tour. Very interesting. Lexington is a lovely town we will be sure to return. ~Cara 😊
I agree! Stop along the way for all the wonderful surprises! 💕
Greetings from Lexington from an old USAF (Vietnam) Veteran.
@@Coolerators thank you for your service and watching! John is USAF retired 35 years of service. 🇺🇸
Wow!! What a historic area!! And so beautiful too!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thank you for watching 😊
I love seeing historic sites, I've enjoying expanding my knowledge of US history through your videos. Lexington VA looks like a really lovely place to visit, and the mountain scenery is just gorgeous!
Thank you so much truly appreciate your support. There is always so much to learn. The views at Shenandoah were just breathtaking. ~Cara 😊
Yes they are great
Love me some Lee & Jackson
Cara, you have done an excellent job on this youtube channel. My mom is from Lexington, and I spent a lot of time there growing up visiting relatives. When I left Lakeland in 1981, Lexington is where I moved to and lived there until 1985. I plan on retiring there. It's very beautiful.
Hey friend! Thank you for your kind words! Lexington is beautiful. I never knew you lived there how wonderful you have roots there as well! ~Cara 💖
What a stunning view to stumble across! Great advice to enjoy the journey and stop off on the way. What a beautiful town with some wonderful historic buildings. It was so interesting to see inside the Jackson family home. I love learning about events and people in history too. You did a great job of teaching us some interesting historical facts about the area. Thank you, John and Cara! 😊😊
Thank you ladies truly appreciate your support! It was a stunning view and the town was quaint and full of history!! Thank you for watching! ~Cara
In the 40's to 50's Stonewall Jackson House was an area hospital. I was born there in 1952. Lexington has gotten so progressive it has changed to The Jackson House. Stonewall Jackson Cemetary has been renamed Oak Cemetary. It was sad for most of us. You can keep your history, just tell the truth.
Love the view from the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. No one can truly capture the views with a camera they really do need to be seen! Enjoyed the history of Lexington and both Jackson and Lee. Two great Generals and tacticians. It's too bad it ended in such an unhappy situation. (Civil War) Thanks so much for bringing us along, John and Cara.
Dave I think you commented you knew where we were going with our teaser clip. Yes so much depth to these two as well as the others beyond the civil war. Thank you so much for watching. ~Cara 🥰
Yes such a great view
Thanks for the virtual tour
Great place to visit! thanks for sharing this historic place with us...

Thx for sharing.
Plan to visit Mount Vernon, Richmond, Jamestowne, Forfolk and Lexington VMI.
A history buff myself.
Thanks for this narrative. I like how diverse of a reader and linguistic Jackson was.
Nice story
Thank you for watching. Yes fluent in both French & Spanish. 😊
I live in Newport News Va, Lexington is an awesome place. The views are scenic. I retired in November 2022--I love it.
We were stationed at Langley in Hampton VA USAF. John retired 2018. We love Virginia and are planning a trip 2023 back to Hampton Roads. Thanks for watching! ~Cara 😊
@@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers I live about 4 miles from Langley
Wow, this place is so beautiful and full of historical sites. Thanks dear for taking us with you.
Thank you for watching! 😊
I adore visiting historic locations, and your video has helped me learn more about US history! I had never been to this location before, and I knew very little about Civil War history, so I learnt a lot! The views from Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway were also spectacular!

Hi Guys , missed the notification on this from a few days ago but it was great, i enjoyed this history tour with breakfast ! Lexington Virginia looks so beautiful and i loved the views over the valley there at the start that you had. I bet John especially loved the Military Institute, the building was lovely. The church was stunning and Jackson House so beautiful, really interesting history . Nice to see around the museum, we like you, love history too . The food that you had in town looked so delicious, especially the burger 😀 Great video Cara I loved it . Hope you're both well , have a great weekend :) ~ Anna 💕💕
Diolch Anna! Shenandoah valley is just breathtaking! The area has so much history, it was our first time visiting Lexington VA and we weren’t disappointed. Lovely town great food too! Appreciate your support hope you have a nice weekend! ~Cara 💖

Incredible footage. What a beautiful area that’s rich in history.
Thank you!
Thanks for this great video! This is a place I’ve never been and I know very little about Civil War history… so I learned a lot!
This makes me happy! Thank you so much for watching!! (I know you are having a busy day! 😫) 💖
@@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers it was a bear! But after several hours I finally was able to redo and fix all my corrupted video files!
Wooow,what a mesmerizing, hypnotizing, enjoyable, entertaining, exciting, fascinating nd engaging sharing 👏👏👏, stay connected Sweet friend 🤩🌹
Thanks for sharing your informative content and giving my watch till the end, my indeed full support.
Much appreciated
Hello my friends. A nation's identity lives through its history. Very nice! ❤️
Another really well edited, spoken en presented video. You narrate so well and with interesting facts. Indeed, I sure learnt a thing or three...👍! As much as I love the English style architecture and the french chateaus, I too have a love for the beautiful American state buildings, the red brick homes and country dwellings. It never ceases to amaze me the diversity of building styles around the globe. Lexington is lovely and it sure was WOW seeing the Shenandoah Valley. I am enjoying the ride with you both a lot. Onward we travel. 🙏 💖 🇳🇿 🙋♀ 🇳🇱
Thank you Anita, appreciate your kind words. Narration takes me forever and is my least favorite so I truly appreciate the encouragement! When we first arrived in the Netherlands & Europe I was in awe of the architecture. Lexington was just beautiful and Shenandoah wow I can’t wait to return! Thank you for your never ending support! ~Cara 💖
Thanks for the history lesson. I (Eric) had heard of both Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee, but didn't know much about them. Fluffy hugs!!
Thank you so much for watching! 💖~Cara
Hope everything is going well!!

Hi and thanks, John and Cara Retired Travellers for sharing.
First I would like to congratulate you on reaching a milestone "800" and more to come.
I am glad that you corrected that "Lexington" VA...I was thinking of KY...😁
Well said. I always appreciate that you provide full of history and essential info through your travel.
Until now, I have never known the strong bond between two gentlemen, Lee and jackson.
Thank you so much for taking us a tour through your lens. Well done. 🙋♀🙋♀🛶🛶
Thank you Ms. Kayak for your loving comment and support. We’ve been to Lexington KY and it too is a lovely town! Appreciate your support so much! Just shy away from that 800 😊~Cara

Very interesting items on display in the museum! The horse?
The lemons on the grave were kind of strange…
Ha! Yes, I thought I was the only one who enjoyed eating lemons. The museum is very well done so much more to see including General Patton’s helmet and other items. Thank you so much for watching! 💖

I love how organized this history narration is, those sites through your videos help me understand more about the past. Very helpful to me because I’m studying these 100 questions about American history and laws to pass my American citizenship!
