Welcome to my trip journal!
I am keeping this travel journal as a memory of my travels around the country in my 2016 Winnebago Journey, as well as a way to let family and friends know where I am and what mischief I am getting into.

Appomattox
The actual McLean House and table in the parlor where, midday on April 9, 1865, General Robert E. Lee rode into this yard, dismounted, and surrendered to General Grant in the parlor and the terms were constructed and signed.
Doesn't look like a significant battlefield .... it was really very peaceful and lovely
This gentlemen gave a "living history" talk about what it was like to fight with the Virginia soldiers and be present during the surrender and aftermath.
