Family Times & Historic Adventures

Okay, so I may have mentioned in here once or twice before that I am a huge history fan. Like, I played the battle of Gettysburg instead of Barbies when I was 10. (I know, adorable, right?) I think I turned out alright though! :) But when it comes down to it, you can take the girl out of the nerdiness, but really, you can't take the nerdiness out of the girl. When my Dad suggested going up to Appomattox Courthouse this past weekend for a Civil War encampment, I may have squealed. Just a little. That's when I knew that I am still a major nerd. But you know what? I am completely okay with that! 

For those of you who don't remember from history class, Appomattox is where General Lee surrendered the Confederate Army to General Grant. If you're a history buff, it's a really fun place to check out! Not to mention it's a beautiful location in Virginia! 

30+ years from now, this is how I want to be with my own husband.

Does the table look familiar?

The [many] table settings in this place were just beautiful! I kind of wanted to bring them home with me!

Just precious.

Yes, that is an outhouse. Yup, they're squatting over it.

We call it "The Lion King tree"

Rockin' the model pose, Mom! You are gorg. :) (You're as handsome as they come too, Dad!)

Such a great time ~ one for the history books! Literally.
