Revolutionary War Exhibit Mix-up
The Guilford CourtHouse National Military Park will go down in family history as “that place where Mom realized she had booked a hotel for the wrong town”. ;)

This was a last minute stop. I walked up and told the outside Rangers I had no idea the significance, and he walked us through it’s role in the Revolutionary War. Then on all Mom-frazzled-brain, I told him we are headed to Appomattox and how far apart were these two battles. Doi! Then he nicely explained they were one hundred and something days apart... (to the day, of course)

Genius Mom move.

We are going to too many history sites. I was worried they were going to start blending for the kids and here I am, on day one, with brain fog ;)
.

Then he explained it was the big battle that led to Yorktown. Now life makes sense again.

I wish we’d had more time and brain power to stay and explore. The ranger did answer Coop’s questions about rifles and muskets. So that’s something ;)

This will also be “that museum where M stayed inside to read stuff while Mom had to call the hotel from the car”. ;)
