State Parks

We took a couple of Saturdays to explore some of the sites that are close to us. The first one was Princeton Battlefield. There was a really important battle that was fought here during the revolutionary war that I would go into more detail but I don't want to bore all you out there. If your interested all you have to do is google it. It was really pretty and so we got some great pictures of the colored leaves and Aspyn running around.

This is the house that was on the property during the battle that was used as a hospital for both the Americans and the British.

Aspyn in front of a marker telling about a General the died during the battle. There are a lot of things around here that named after him.

These columns have been moved three times (originally from Philadelphia) and now stand in front of the grave where several soldiers are buried.

Aspyn and Josh standing on the steps. Aspyn loved going up and down the steps and we passed it the other day and she saw it wanted to go up the steps again.

Here is the grave marker.

The next weekend we went to a place called Rockingham. It is the house that George Washington was staying when he found out the war was over. We learned so much there, very interesting place to visit just not too kid friendly. Aspyn did great but we probably wouldn't take her there again. I couldn't take any pictures inside so I just got a couple of the outside.
We saw this guy on our way there on the side of the road eating. We stopped to take pictures of him and he looked up at me while I took them, didn't move at all the whole time.
Rockingham, the house.
Aspyn outside in the rain. She saw me taking pictures and wanted one of her taken. She had fun once we got out jumping in the puddles.
