Zachary has been learning about the Revolutionary War in school and being the good mother that I am (as well as a bit on the nerdy side and happy to finally have someone else excited about visiting state parks and historical monuments with me) decided that we needed to head to Kings Mountain National Park so he could learn more about our local chapter in the history of the War. Actually, we had planned on going to Cowpens Battlefield but found out that they will have re-enactors and all that good nerdy stuff next weekend so look for pics of dudes dresses up with ponytails and old muskets next week. But the Kings Moutain museum is way cool- it has all of these huge cool "trees" that you can walk in with presentations and artwork on various commanders and weaponry and whatnot.

Great shots.
Isn't it nice to have so many State Parks within a very short driving distance?
