Another mostly rainy day and another day for Shaun to tour two more battlefields. First was Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland. Antietam was a very bloody day. 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing after only twelve hours of war on September 17, 1862.I really loved the fences there...
Observation Tower...
View from inside the tower looking out through one of the slot windows...
Final attack site. Much more beautiful today than it was back then...
Burnside Bridge. LOVED this.
Then we went to Manassas Battlefield in Virginia. I took endless pics of cannons. I was a little obsessed. LOL!
A cute little house that was used as a hospital during the war.
We then drove to Roanoke, Virginia where we stayed the night. Too bad it was dark the 3 hours we drove because we missed the beautiful countryside.
