Day 4-Civil War!

We are in Richmond, VA! Not only is Richmond home to the 'Museum of the Confederacy', but lover of all things Confederate! And does this love go deep. We learned so much about the Civil War. Actually, it just made me want to learn more! We also visited the White House of the Confederacy which was the home of President Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy. Amazing. Simply amazing.

::Love this::
Visited the Virginia State Capitol Building in Richmond. My girls are such good sports! :)
Washington Statue behind State Capitol. Absolutely HUGE...and lovely to behold.
I'm still so amazed at how deep the Confederate loyalty runs. It is such a part of the people in the South. It is their history. It is their story. It is their legacy. It is woven into their very being. I was also amazed that many issues that sparked the Civil War are still alive today. But that is still their history, their story, and their legacy. Let us...yes, us... learn from history.
