147 years ago...

the campaign for Atlanta started. In case you are wondering what that is, it is part of the Civil War and the burning of Atlanta and so on. We live close to several battlefields. This weekend was the anniversary of the Battle at Kennesaw Mountain. They were having different things going on, so we went and watched some reenactments. Garrett loves Army stuff and soldiers, but he wasn't real sure about the ones we saw in their wool uniforms (and yes, it was hot). It was interesting to see and they have a great visitor's center and museum. They had pictures of Atlanta when the city burned and its hard to imagine it looked like that compared to what it looks like today. Luckily this weekend the South and North were able to get along :)
