A trip to the Nathan Bedford Forrest Home

A couple of weeks ago, we got to visit the Nathan Bedford Forrest childhood home in Chapel Hill, TN. It was pretty neat! They didn't actually have a re-enactment, but they did have some demonstrations. Here's the firing of the cannons...

the sleeping quarters of the re-enacters



sometimes pictures don't turn out the way you planned...when you have sisters around, it's not unusual to have "bunny ears" or for a flag to have legs and feet!

which is why I'm thankful for picture editing programs! :-)
