Why I'll never make dinner again.

At least not when there is light like this. 

I certainly got a lot of mileage from that one day at Manassas battlefield.

We really didn't have to wander far from the parking lot to find stuff to do and to look at.

Markers to read.

and gravestones to consider.

Julia bounded across the field like a little puppy and threw herself into the long grass.

"Look how tall this grass is, Mom!"

and where else can you cuddle up with a canon?

(Oh! wait... I have been known to cuddle with my Canon XSi.

Loving this camera!)

I have no clue what she was doing or pretending to be, but this one makes me laugh every time.  :)
