Today was our last day trip based out of Kendall and Jeans place.
We went to Fort Monroe and visited the largest stone fortification in the US. I always seem to learn something and this was my 3rd or 4th trip. Marsden was surprised when she realized that when I said this was where the monitor/merrimac battle took place...that I meant right here not a generic area...that they watched the fight from the ramparts. Also a day earlier she had asked what happened to Jefferson Davis after the war, so she was able to visit his cell at Fort Monroe. An awesome star fort that was always in union hands during the civil war.
We have tried to get the netbook computer working without success. So the blog may not be updated again but I will try when we are doing laundry every 3rd or 4th day.
We leave on Sunday May1st heading North. Plan on stopping at Fredericksburg, Bull Run, Spotslyvania and Chancellorsville on the way to Gettysburg.
