As you know I am headed out of town next week with our daughter on a review trip and cannot wait to share all this stuff with you when I get back. But other people are asking me well what about the boys. Well the answer is simple , they are gone with their grandmother out of town right now to Niagara Falls, African Lion Safari and Marine Land all of which they were super excited to be doing.
Then of course I go next week and then later on this summer we will head about 2 hours from here to visit Mackinac City and Mackinac Island. While on Mackinac Island I really want to take my kids to Fort Mackinac, it is a historic fort built back in the late 18th century and while it was not actually a part of the Civil War they do great Civil War Battlefields re-enactments which I know the boys will be ecstatic to see. I think that this will be very educational for my boys and I am all about them learning even during the summer months and yes even while we are on vacation I just tend to be sneakier this way. When I was a kid I had the pleasure of going and viewing all this and now I get to bring my own kids and share it with them but more then that I will get to share it with you all.
So tell me what are your plans for the summer? Will you take your kids some place historic? Do you talk about the Civil War with your kids and are they interested in all the details you have to share? Did you have family perhaps in one of the wars that the kids are able to proudly speak of?
