vacation part 1- Battle of Little Big Horn

I am a total nerd when it comes to history. I am excited to say that I got my National Parks passport stamped at the Battle of Little Big Horn National Park. It is the sight of Custer's last stand. It was a vast expanse of prairie that had once been covered in the blood of Native Americans and members of Custer's United States Army. It was here that Sitting Bull led the Sioux and Cheyenne to a victory over the white men who had come to claim their sacred land. Many were buried in graves where they fell and the whole thing is a moving tribute to the human spirit.

Oh my word...tell Charli to QUIT GROWING!!! I cannot believe her. I feel like it wasn't THAT long ago that I saw her, but she's a little girl now...not the baby I know. :( I miss being part of your lives.

O..k. so I was moving from the bottom of your post up & posted my last comment before I got up to the top...that looks like such a moving place to visit. This went along perfectly with all that you & Maya studied this year, didn't it? I love your passion for history.
