Revolutionary War

A couple of weeks ago we went to see the annual reenactment of the Battle of Trenton.

Though we won't officially cover the Revolutionary War for a couple of years, (We're following the Well-Trained Mind)we are taking advantage of the regional historical opportunities. We have been in Central New Jersey for 2 years now and we have seen a handful of places and events related to the founding of our country. We have about 5 months left here and a couple more places we want to visit. I hope we can do it!
