We’re all sitting in a Panera Bread catching up on email and visiting via IM. We went to Stones River National Battlefield today. The Battle of Stones River started on December 31, 1861 and lasted three days. When it was all over, nearly 24,000 people were dead (more than 13,000 Union soldiers and more than 11,000 Confederate soldiers). Many of the Union soldiers killed at Stones River are buried at the Stones River National Cemetery.
The National Battlefield includes a driving tour to significant spots not only in the park, but around Murfreesboro. We took a few pictures, but when you think about what happened in this place, it makes the mood kind of somber. It didn’t feel right to run around the park taking pictures.
We’re supposed to receive the new swivel pan for the tow dolly tomorrow. If we do, the plan is to leave on Wednesday and head down to my parents in Florida. The first week of our trip hasn’t exactly turned out the way we had hoped, and it has been much more expensive than we expected, but I can feel that things are starting to turn around for us. I expect things to get better from here on out.
