Manassas

This past Saturday, Jason and I went to Manassas, VA to see the battlefield of First and Second Manassas (Bull Run). Going to historical sites is always fun with Jason, especially Civil War ones, because I have my own personal tour guide! We walked the marked trail to see the different sites that are still standing, and then we wandered off onto another trail. And we walked, and walked, and walked...and didn't know exactly where it was taking us, so we turned around and went back. Come to find out, it was a LONG trail and we probably made the right decision.  : )

Here's some photos that Jason took...

The trail we walked.


Stonewall Jackson.


Where he got his famous nickname.


Judith Henry's grave. (her house was on the battlefield)
