polk house

 The temperatures dropped in the 40s today and since we couldn't go hiking, we decided it would be fun to see one of the historical sites we haven't made it to yet.  We went to James K. Polk house in Columbia.  It is a 201 year old house and we learned a lot!

 To be honest, I don't think I learned or have read as much about Polk and his presidency as I should have!  He had quite a presidency and did a lot during his term.  The home is actually his childhood home.  The girls enjoyed the tour and we were the only ones on the tour so we got to ask lots of questions and we learned a lot.  It was a great way to spend our Saturday!
