The day started with the perfect feel for a day touring battlefields- cool and foggy. Unfortunately, by the time we left the campground and got to the battlefields, the fog had lifted and the sun was shining.
We picked up an audio driving tour and started on our way. This was much more Chris' kind of thing than mine. Whenever we stopped he would read every placard and I would kind of wander off and see what pretty flowers were around. I tried to give him time to see things, but I think he quickly realized I was bored.
However, I did find this statue to be interesting since it was sculpted by the same guy who sculpted Mount Rushmore. I thought it interesting that we would see two of his works in such different parts of the country on the same trip. He also did Stone Mountain in Georgia, but that will have to be another trip.
By the end of our tour around the park (about 3-4 hours later) even Chris was getting bored. We skipped the visitor centers and decided to head for home.By 7:30 we were home! Hooray!

Completely love your recap of the trip! I can't wait to see that scrapbook LO. It's your very own Amazing Race, yet without the fear of being eliminated.
You should add how many odd things you saw or weird people you met...unless of course that is too many to count.
you saw 0 moose? See for me, I'm always in the south and it's armadillo. What a great album you will have!
