The Home Stretch

Our last stop on our little vacation was a visit to the Pea Ridge National Military Park. It was the site of a Civil War battle and also contains part of the Trail of Tears. The battle was fought on March 7-8, 1862. This might sound totally boring, but Mike and I both love history!

a depiction of the battle:

We learned some history of the area and had a really nice time on a gorgeous spring day. Here are some of our pictures:

please note- I am not trying to look angry- I was staring straight into the sun!! lol oooh, and check out my new coat!
