The Book Was Better

I almost pushed my luck with getting the boys to tour one more historical site with me before we say adios to summer. There was a mini-revolt when we pulled into the parking lot, but I had read the Civil War book about the Carnton Plantation and I had to see it for myself.

The book was better - except for maybe the description of the garden. 

After all of these summer day trips, I know just about all anyone ever needs to know about the Battle of Franklin and the history of Nashville. I found my second calling and think historian will be in my next job title. 

Time to set the alarm! Hello school year 2016-2017!
