Frankie's trip to Leesburg, Virginia

Leesburg is the larger town next to us
"During the War of 1812, Leesburg served as the temporary capital of the United States when the valuable papers of the Federal Archives (including the Declaration of Independence and Constitution) were brought to town for safekeeping."
"Leesburg is the county seat of the fastest growing county in the nation. From 1990 to 2001, Leesburg doubled in population from 16,000 to 32,000. That phenomenal growth shows no sign slowing down. The town's current population is an estimated nearly 37,500 and is projected to be 45,000 by 2010. "
