The pool was a welcome end to our last day of a fun (but tiring) vacation. We were very glad that we had chosen 2 hotels with indoor pools. The kids have an endless amount of energy and the pool was always a great way to

After a restful and uneventful night in our hotel, we woke up ready to go. Nick got up super early to be at the tire store when it opened so he could have our tire patched. Unfortunately, they said the tire was damaged on the side wall which meant they wouldn't be able to do a patch. So, Nick had to buy a new tire. :( But, at least that part of our journey was over!
Lucky for us, Lynchburg is very close to the historic site where Lee surrendered! Appamattox, Virginia is only about 30-40 minutes from there. So, after a delicious breakfast of pancakes, biscuits, eggs and bacon, cooked by our friends, we hit the road.
It was quite surreal walking all over this beautiful site where so much history took place. The homes were beautiful and the courthouse was so cool! It had a museum on the upper level with depictions of Lee and Grant actually signing the peace treaty. There were artifacts from the war including: weapons, uniforms, furniture, etc... I know the kids didn't fully understand the significance of this, but hopefully they'll look back on this one day and be excited to say that they visited such an important historic site.
Anyway, visiting Appamattox was very cool and absolutely beautiful! After we walked all over the land, we had a picnic on the lawn. Then we went to a cool little coffee shop and then went back to the Green's house.
