My boys must really love me because all three agreed to a day trip to the Hermitage to see the estate of Andrew Jackson. I love touring historical sites and learning about history, but the boys are only intrigued if the site includes a story about a bloody battle. Because Jackson fought in the Revolutionary War, I thought it only appropriate that we visit the site during the holiday weekend.
While touring Jackson's home, we were told a story about a bloodstain on the bedroom carpet that occurred during Mrs. Jackson's death. The story was pretty exciting for Keagan, but he was totally disappointed to not be able to actually see it. His disappointment was quickly forgotten, though, when Wes agreed to take us downtown to get burgers and milkshakes.
