The Battlefields

We chose a cold, cold day to visit the battlefields!  As much as I had planned to walk around and enjoy the scenery, it ended up being where we just drove from one spot to another, got out and took a picture, and drove to the next spot.  We will make sure it is warmer the next time we go!
