One beautiful January day, a group of us decided to go check out the new air museum at Shannon Airport (KEZF), just outside Fredericksburg, VA. This is a very neat museum with some very unique aircraft and artifacts (including some from Admiral Byrd's first Antarctic Expedition). If you're hungry, there is a restaurant on the field (The Robin's Nest Cafe, so named because it is in what was once the Curtiss Robin's hangar). Even if you aren't hungry, stop in and grab a milkshake! Shannon also typically has some of the cheapest gas in the area, so all-in-all, quite a wonderful place to stop.
