so last week was incredible! almost 90 for most of the week in virginia and going on a historytastic trip. what more could a girl want! so here is my trip in pictures. we went to see my sister at college, richmond, go to see my pen pal holly, monticello, longwood university, appomattox court house, fredricksburg/chancellorsville, dinner with my sister, arlington/dc and i got to see one of my summer friends mj!, and then gettysburg!
sissy and i at the virginia capital in richmond
fam also in richmond
a nice visit to see tjefferson at monticello! absolutely gorgeous!
awesome pic from the museum of the confederacy in richmond. also the confederate white house was INCREDIBLE!
a visit to longwood where zta was founded! (and where my mom went to college)
appomattox court house, va - the house where lee surrendered to grant to end the civil war!
stonewall jackson's arm. he was shot down the road at chancellorsville and his arm needed to be amputated. it was buried a few miles away. and he died a few days later from pneumonia and is buried in lexington, va.
the view of dc from arlington national cemetery.
my brother acting out a 1863 civil war photo from the devil's den in gettysburg...
cemetery ridge at gettysburg... the site of pickett's charge.
it was super civil war! and i can't wait to teach the civil war next year after everything i saw! which i need to wait a year, as i just graded the civil war tests yesterday.
and then matt and i went hiking at the gap yesterday and it was just gorgeous outside!
