A Day at Mount Vernon : On September 20 we got up at "o-dark-thirty" (OK, 4:00 AM ) to take a day trip given by the <a target=_blank href="http://www.friendsofvalleyforge.org/">Friends of Valley Forge Park</a> to Mount Vernon, VA. To those of you not familiar with American History, Mount Vernon was the home of George Washington, our first president. We made an hour long trip to Valley Forge National Park from New Hope, PA where we boarded a bus at 6:00 AM to begin our 3.5 hour drive to Mount Vernon. It was a long day for sure!

Antietam National Battlefield, MD : Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, MD is probably one of the best preserved Civil War Battlefields in the country. A 9-mile tour road leads guests through the battlefield. For us the tour took just over 2 hours. General Robert E. Lee'S first invasion of the North culminated with the Battle of Antietam. The battle took place on Wednesday, September 17, 1862, just 18 days after the Confederate victory at Second Manassas, 40 miles to the southeast in Virginia. Not only was this the first major Civil War engagement on Northern soil, it was also the bloodiest single day battle in American history. Antietam resulted in nine times as many Americans killed or wounded (23,000 soldiers) as took place on D-day in of World War II. According to National Archives data American casualties at Omaha and Utah beaches on D-Day totaled 2,510. The Union victory at Antietam set the stage for Lincoln's Emancipation Proclaimation.

A Day at Valley Forge : As if I already wasn't busy enough, I've taken on a part time volunteer position at Washington's Headquarters in Valley Forge, PA. Basically, I dress up in colonial clothing and tell visitors about the headquarters house and things that happened during Washington's Army's stay at Valley Forge from December 1777 - June 1778. The last time I was there we had some very special guests with us and fortunately, I had a camera with me! General Washington, John Laurens (one of his aides de camp), and Hannah Till (a slave) were in attendance. It was a privilege spending the day with these re-enactors who brought the house back to life!
