fort donelson

 One of the civil war sites we hadn't checked out yet was Fort Donelson.  So since Saturday was nice and soccer hadn't started yet, we loaded up and went to check it out!  I'm glad we did because it was very cool and the girls loved it!  We learned a lot and it was yet another site where I was amazed at the sacrifices that were made by all of the soldiers who fought in the war.  I cannot imagine how difficult their lives were and the conditions they suffered.  I'm so glad the girls are learning history and are able to see so many of these historical sites in person.
