If you all want some outstanding breakfast sandwiches and great coffee, you should stop in at Tickers on Rt3, east of the I-95 on the north side. Tell Pablo you're car friends of mine. My wife(Janet) used to work there. 
He's a car guy, too. I believe he has a C2 Corvette.

I was going to go to the 2400 Diner but Tickers sounds even better. How far from I95 is it? Is it in the shopping center at the second light?

That sounds right. Lone Star is the corner business and Staples is in the middle. Tickers is the 4th business with Lone Star being the first.

My +1 and I will be there around 9:30 to meet the early contingent. We'll be at the National Park HQ on Lafayette Blvd. in the parking lot in the rear. The weather this weekend is supposed to be mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 70s. Sounds like top-down weather to me. Ya'll come on out. We'll tour the battlefields, we'll eat Allman's barbecue and Carl's frozen custard and we'll drive some nice twisty roads.
The Fredericksburg Battlefield Visitor Center is located at 1013 Lafayette Boulevard in the middle of a city so directions depend on which way you are coming from. There are direction signs if you are coming from I-95, but there are not signs from every conceivable way you are approaching the visitor center. Be aware that Fredericksburg is a confusing city to get around in and traffic congestion especially in the suburban areas can be very very severe. If coming from the north, take exit 130 East from I-95. Drive east on Route 3 for approximately 2 miles. Turn left at the traffic light at Lafayette Boulevard (US 1 Business). Proceed approximately 1/2 mile. The visitor center is on the left. If you are coming from the south, take exit 126 from I-95. Proceed north on US 1 for approximately 1 mile. Turn right at the traffic light at Lafayette Boulevard (US 1 Business). Proceed approximately 4 miles. The visitor center is on the left.
Gathering time is 9:30/10:00AM?
