Our first stop of the morning wasn't to a historical site, but to a Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. It was a bad idea to stop for coffee, we ended up having stopped about 6 times during our trip for me to use the bathroom.
Our second stop was in Petersburg, VA at one of the several National Battlefield sites. It was a small walk-around site into the woods, at the end of the "15 minute" walk we found a memorial for the falling soldiers of this battle.
Our third stop of the trip was to the National Battlefield in Petersburg. We decided to walk around the battlefield and took some awesome pictures of some of the cannon's that were used during this battle. Here are some pictures of our stop at the National Battlefield.
After visit to the National battlefield we headed to Salisbury, NC to visit the Epling family. Melinda and Carlin moved to Salisbury, NC from Maryland just over two years ago and we had never gone down to visit. It was a short visit with the family, but it was a good one. Here is a picture of their baby girls. (Carly standing up and Madeline being held.)
Our final stop in NC was to Shelly and Chris' new place in Durham, NC. We spent two nights with Chris and Shelly. We had hoped to visit the Duke Gardens on Saturday, but with the weather not cooperating we decided to check out the National History Museum in Raleigh. This place also had A/C. Here is a shot of Chris inside a tree! At the National History Museum we saw some dinosaur's Chris' favorite exhibit. My favorite was the gems and rocks. (Who would of guessed!).
The rest of the weekend was spent at Shelly and Chris' eating and playing board games. It was a very low key weekend, but something that Tim and I enjoy very much. We were so happy that both DeAdder and Epling family allowed us to come down and visit.
