Loving seeing the historical side of your travels as I'm an Aussie and have never been to the U.S.A. It's amazing that you plan ahead so well, to have interests and activities for EVERYONE, not just Abs
We definitely want to do something that interests everyone. Tomorrow I'm going with one of my friends to see historical battlefield stuff because it doesn't interest Abbie or Priscilla.
Awe. I have lived in Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg area my whole life. It warms my heart to see people enjoying the history and the atmosphere of the area. I got so interested in history in fact, that I went into the public history field and now work in museums. I work at George Washington’s ferry Farm in Stafford, Virginia, across the river from Fredericksburg. So it’s always good to see people enjoying what I do for a living.
My ex husband and I spent many vacations touring various civil war sites. We are both history buffs and we both enjoy the civil war Era. On the other hand we are both very much camping and nature buffs so enjoy that part of travel. We have been divorced over 20 years and have still managed to do several vacations together (2 tents or rooms nowadays lol]. We take our son, who is on the spectrum and are always looking for places along the way that will be interesting for him as well. If you get a chance, go to Thomas Jefferson house. It is amazing and a lot I think abbie would enjoy. Beautiful area you have been through.
I love the history. Near my hometown of Huntingdon, TN, is Shiloh Battlefield. Even though I have been several time I still love going. I hoping we can get to Gettysburg one day.
I have ancestors from spotsylvainia. I live in Texas and want to at some point go to that area to see my history. Did y’all see anything about Alexander Spottswood?
My family always does the history and then we do the amusement parks and stuff like that. Gettysburg is one of my favorite places to be I love the history there the shops are just amazing I love it
As a cider drinker I would have been in heaven, providing that was hard cider. When I travel, I try to see both some history and attractions. Especilly a lot of cities here in Europe provide easily both when you just walk around. For example London is perfect for just walking around and see the famous landmarks without actually queueing and going inside.
Happy Saturday i hope you’re having a blessed Saturday and an awesome summer I love watching your videos You’re the sweetest kindest family ever have a blessed day 💙❤️🤍🤩😎
I love watching you guys relationship going places trying new food and places and trying new activities and explore having fun together as a wonderful family loving caring blessed protected 🫶✊🫡🧩💒🙏🏻
Absolutely love the history. Not being American, I am thoroughly enjoying the sites also. What always gets me is when I am standing on a site where something momentous occurred, whether it be the fields of Gettysburg or the Colosseum in Rome, it always feels surreal.
If you're going to or near Dripping Springs, Texas. Have a look at Family Business Beer Company. It's a place run by a guy from the tv show Supernatural, and I've heard really good things about it. If I ever get to America one day I plan on trying to get to there.
I don't know why you didn't go to Antietam battlefield. You can set your AM radio and do the driving tour. That's where Abraham Lincoln gave the speech with the Emancipation Proclamation. I said before that it's better than Gettysburg.
Will there be a vid of you trying them. Would have been nice to hear your thoughts on different ones. And you and Cill just sipping each one won't get ya tipsy😁 do they make the cider there? So many questions
Cider just isn't our thing. We tried a few but we didn't care for it too much. I didn't want anyone to think it wasn't good...it's just not good to us. The food was GREAT though.
I am into the history prep history of the air a and Geographyal history too.my Dad was a professor of Sociology at the University of Georgia in Athens Georgia.
Whilst not fully 'family friendly' because it is an adults only campsite, there is a place near Okehampton, Devon UK called Hole Station. It is set in an oak tree woodland and you can choose between bringing all your own gear and pitch up on plots set fairly deep (one is called the Blair Witch plot) OR you can choose to just bring your clothes and toiletries and use one of their pre-set up pitches. PLEASE NOTE this is not an advert this is based on my experience and I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, you can't bring campers because the site is not set up for them. However, it is the most peaceful, relaxing, both private and friendly place I have ever camped. There is so much to do in the area that we had to keep going back... Asa, I envy you the camper/RV that you have, and the freedom it gives you to visit all the states - hopefully we will be able to do something similar when we retire. USA history fascinates me and the fact that you introduce Abbie to it and she seems to enjoy it is beyond great. I could do with you and Priscilla in my life to organise me. If we came to the USA from the UK, would you recommend we bring a trailer with us (if such a thing is possible) or rent/hire one while we're there... spot the person who has never travelled outside the UK. Thank you for just including us in your life, every vlog teaches me something.
@@cathymayhew9694 actually, you’re the Karen here complaining about their video and making sure you added that emoji to show your discontent with what they DID give us to watch. Be grateful for what you get.
@@moremaass I am going to withdraw the comment because I was not seeking to "get Political "on your amazing channel that I enjoy watching and I realized my oblique comment crosses that line. Let's just say a recent Supreme Court ruling that I am not in support of.
I've been going through a bit of a mid-life crisis... My kids are growing up faster than my mom heart can handle and the thing that once felt infinite, now feels fleeting 💔 I love and appreciate how much you guys do to make sure you are making memories with Abby and each other. I might take a page from your playbook and take a family vacation somewhere that isnt a tourist trap so my teenager can see the history he is learning about in school. Thank you for sharing your family and adventures… I hope you know how many of us look forward to your videos 😊

I’m glad you like Lake Anna it’s about one hour south of my house in Manassas. We love the lake. Have a blessed day sweetheart.
History for sure.
I love the history. Near my hometown of Huntingdon, TN, is Shiloh Battlefield. Even though I have been several time I still love going. I hoping we can get to Gettysburg one day.
quiet, wooded and haunted! i would love to be here where you are, and see that field, and read the history.
I like a little of both. History and sights.
Hello beautiful Maass family. ❤😘🥰
I have ancestors from spotsylvainia. I live in Texas and want to at some point go to that area to see my history. Did y’all see anything about Alexander Spottswood?
Likely haunted too.
Is there a link for that tent thing you put over where you eat??
Sure thing! We got the 10x10 so it would fit over a picnic table. amzn.to/3yjx1hT
@@moremaass thanks!!
Asa I do know about that place I am a civil was appreciator!
So how many did you guys drink knowing that you guys aren't a fan of cider?
Trail of Tears
You need to go to Battlefield Amish Store and get an outstanding deli sandwich.
Little of everything
I was always in the history and I have autism

Looks so blissful, your camp site. Peace and quiet. And nature, Lovely. 👍❤️👍
I love learning about the history of the area!

You would have been in Heaven. I can see how a lot of people would love it. Cider isn't our thing though but I'm glad we gave it a shot.
first! hello all❤ loving all the traveling vlogs Maass family
I like both but now that I'm older I'm into the history and Virginia is full of it with it being one of the first 13 colonies
Happy Saturday i hope you’re having a blessed Saturday and an awesome summer I love watching your videos You’re the sweetest kindest family ever have a blessed day 💙❤️🤍🤩😎

We do history one year and a beach the next… gotta keep everyone happy.
Love the history side. And I do like some attractions as well. Continue to have a safe trip and keep the content coming!! ThNks ❤️
I like the history and the attractions. This does look like a great place.
I like walking the battlefields and reflecting on what folks went through during that time, including the civilians.
Absolutely love the history. Not being American, I am thoroughly enjoying the sites also. What always gets me is when I am standing on a site where something momentous occurred, whether it be the fields of Gettysburg or the Colosseum in Rome, it always feels surreal.

Amazing . Be safe. Love you
Safe travels Maass Family...
I love history of places. I stop at old cemeteries, in my travels.
Love to check out old cemeteries
Hello Mr. Asa and Family ❤️
Beautiful. Be safe
Where was Abby when you all was at that restaurant
She was standing up holding her iPad. She goes everywhere with them
@@cheyennehalliger5438 I didn't see her , I knew she did . Tu
1:29 That's the most typical teenager / young people pose I have ever seen, including the well timed yawn. LOL.
I wasn't good in history but I love the scenery here and I'm glad to see you again 🥰
Love history. History does repeat itself. In different ways
Yes I've heard of Spotsylvania Virginia.
I hate Lake Anna. It was the worst part of my childhood! But im glad you all had fun!🥰😍
I'm not to far from there, great to see you guys around the area! ✌
My dad is a history major! So we’re into history.
Hi from 1stie
Hello Roz 😘
Hello Roz 👋
hi, roz!!
I don't know why you didn't go to Antietam battlefield.
You can set your AM radio and do the driving tour.
That's where Abraham Lincoln gave the speech with the Emancipation Proclamation.
I said before that it's better than Gettysburg.
I grew up in this area. I haven’t lived there in many years so it’s good to see home.❤️
Tim’s river shore well Tim’s at the lake is the name in lake Anna is great to eat. Research lake Anna, it is super interesting also.
I’m at 2:17…. “A divided country”
And …not much has changed.
Absolutely ❤ the History
Hello & Happy Saturday Maass Squad ❤👍💄
We love the history.
My grandparents live by lake Anna
History and scenery
Beautiful scenery
Our travels are planned around historical sites
Will there be a vid of you trying them. Would have been nice to hear your thoughts on different ones. And you and Cill just sipping each one won't get ya tipsy😁 do they make the cider there? So many questions

Omg I’m so sad I missed you guys :(
History, for sure!
Attractions!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ...... don't go down the political road !!!!!!
He can if he wants to! It’s his channel.
I am into the history prep history of the air a and Geographyal history too.my Dad was a professor of Sociology at the University of Georgia in Athens Georgia.
Zoogyogs.
My husband is more into getting to point a to point b quick. Drives me nuts
That’s just like my dad hahaha
Love the historical side and scenery. I am from South Africa and have never been to the USA.
Went Gettysburg on school field trips in the 60's 70's and now have taken my family. It has changed some.
Welcome to Lake Anna!!! Glad you enjoyed our little piece or paradise 😀
My ex was a let's go explore. We would visit the same places a few times over and by then I would just sit on the beach while he explored.
I love ordering flights at brew houses...you find new things to drink and not get stuck with a big glass of something you can't stand the taste
Unfortunately we are still going through a war with our rights as human beings. All of the sites that you guys have been to our beautiful!
I learn more, the year w did a trip to the battle groundthan I did in high school
history especially now that my son is in the Military
Love you guys!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very awesome!

Just wanted to say hiring would probably be easier than taking a ferry across with a vehicle.
Wow that was short.🙄
Okay? He doesn’t have to post a video so let’s just be glad he posted a video
Yep, just a mini travel vlog. The main videos are on Mondays.
@Cathy Mayhew you do realize they don’t owe you a second into their life, right? Be grateful or don’t watch.
@@dearleah7299 ok Karen. I didn't mean anything bad by it. Just stating a fact. Thank you very much.✌️❤️

Thanks for taking us all with you…. Yes division of families and much like today…. Cancel culture? Well I feel as woman I’m being cancelled
Great comment on the then-versus-now Civil War thing...👍
Are you effin kidding me? Comparing The Civil War to cancel culture???????
@@sharikaplan5556 >>> No, I am not kidding you.
Who’s comparing civil war to cancel culture? I was talking about division in our nation. Do more thinking and less reacting.
@@moremaass Um, you did. Why are you so effin' mean to people?
@@sharikaplan5556 Um, nope. If you listened you’d note that I made an analogy using muskets and cancel culture, not war and cancel culture.
and we are still a country that "fights" over what truly should be Human rights.
I'm curious to know what human rights you think we are still fighting for. Honest question, I can't think of any so I'm curious.
@@moremaass I am going to withdraw the comment because I was not seeking to "get Political "on your amazing channel that I enjoy watching and I realized my oblique comment crosses that line. Let's just say a recent Supreme Court ruling that I am not in support of.
fetus = human that deserves life/rights
Thank you for clarifying, that's all I was asking.
@@moremaass Umm, have you heard of racism?
I've been going through a bit of a mid-life crisis... My kids are growing up faster than my mom heart can handle and the thing that once felt infinite, now feels fleeting 💔
