Popsicle and I went up to TN to visit little bro. and we hit up a couple of historical sites. We went to the Stones River Battlefield again because I just really like it. We also went to a place called Cannonsburg which is a lot like the pioneer village here at Noccalula Falls only better, but also it’s kind of, “Now why is this here?” Justin said that they do have craft fairs there sometimes, and that those do well.
Day two we went to Nashville and toured the Belmont Mansion. The tour was $10. The tour was kind of interesting, but not worth $10. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I know the money goes toward fixing up the house, but i felt ripped off. $5 – $7 would have been a good price.
Last year a tornado (maybe more than one? i can’t remember.) ripped through Murfreesboro and it happened to hit the battlefield too.
it’s weird how there’s a car dealership “right there” at the cemetery.
This thingie tells how many graves.
this was a monument to fallen soldiers as well, but it also had something else on it:
an acorn. (see also: EoT Painting and Adventure Club part IV.)
