Appomattax, VA

If you know much about our family, we love history! God has allowed us to visit a lot of historical places these past few months, but I think this was the most special for me! Appomattox Courthouse, VA was where General Lee surrendered to General Grant in the Civil War. It wasn't exactly the END of the war, more like the beginning to the end. But my great, great grandfather was there when that historical moment took place!
The kids & I on the steps of the McLean house, where the gerneals met & signed the treaty!
