Entering VA

I was ready to go for the next leg of our trip. We stopped at the Virginia Welcome Center and took lots of pictures in front of a sign. I don't understand why.
Then we drove to Appomattox Courthouse. On April 9, 1865, the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia in the McLean House in the village of Appomattox Court House, Virginia signaled the effective end of the nation's largest war. General Grant's victory was the product of eight-day campaign that ended at Appomattox Court House. However, it was closed because of the government shutdown.
So we drove on. We stopped for lunch at an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was very pretty. I didn't get anything to eat 😔.
We also stopped at the American Civil War museum in Appomattox.
Then, we drove to Charlottesville, VA to go to sleep.Baca selengkapnya
