Day 13

I woke up again with kids surrounding my bed. Apparently their mother had told them to go into the room quietly and grab their clothing. So, of course, they talked loudly, gathered 'round my bed, and turned a lamp on that was very near my face. After everyone got dressed, we went down to breakfast. Again it was delicious. After going to Grandma and Grandpa's hotel, we left for the tredagar ironworks. We went straight to the front desk. The lady there gave us two new Civil War cards and told us to go to the ranger upstairs. We went to him, and he gave us some book bags that said Civil War National Parks on them. After we explored the museum, Aunt Karileft for home, while we headed for Richmond. There, we went to the museum of the Confederacy, (which was really cool) and to the White House of the Confederacy. Inside the White House, there was a bust of Jefferson Davis. (The president of the Confederacy.) In the bust, andall the paintings of him in his house, he looked exactly like Abraham Lincoln! After going there, we left for Cold Harbor Battlefield. After reading every sign in the whole field, we went in the visitor's center and watched a video. Then we drove to a Days Inn in Arlington. That night we drove into DC so Grandpa could take pictures.
