I wouldn't say that I 'love' history or that I'm even a 'history buff' per se, but given the chance I do enjoy a nice historic park on a sunny fall day. Case in point: this Sunday at Washington Crossing State Park. This is the spot where Washington crossed the Delaware and launched Ten Crucial Days as the park marketed the campaigns which took Trenton and Princeton. Plus, wonder of wonders, the old Continental trail is still visible - imagine 900 soldiers, half barefoot, crunching through the snow in the dead of night in search of Hessians. That was cool.
Carter rode in the stroller all by himself - no carseat - and was pretty proud about it. He loves a nice day out as much as his parents, so was all about seeing the sights along the river and stopping for a burger or flatbread on the way home. We kicked it old school otherwise. Movie night Friday after meeting little Brynne, work, work, and errands Saturday then State v Wisconsin in the night.
