More looking around

Yesterday we took a trip to Indian Echo Caverns not too far away from us. It was nice but not as good as some of the other ones we have gone to. Gloria decided not to go in as there was lots of stairs to climb. So I did the tour and got some pictures of the inside. After that we decided to go on to the National Civil War Museum. We were glad we did as it was one of the best we have seen so far. There were videos that followed sever people through the war and told there story. Also lots of artifacts from the war and written accounts of lots of the battles. Some of them were the small ones you never hear about.
I have to admit that while on this trip we have learned lots about the discovery of our country and the Revolutionary War and Civil War. It has been a great experience to stand on the ground where so much history was made. I have to admit the Civil War was the most depressing for me as it was Americans fighting Americans and a war I feel should never have happened. I feel the slavery thing had no place in the country according to the Constitution (All men are created equal). but it did and I sure hope nothing like this ever happens again.
