Aaron and I have been watching The Civil War by Ken Burns every night on PBS. I love it, for it was the war that made me fall in love with him. Well, listening to him talk about the war at least, or listening to him talk about any kind of history. Or just listening to him talk...
Anyway, we've had fun watching the documentary and talking about the war. We're planning a trip to visit all the Civil War battlefields someday with Aaron as personal tour guide. I was surprised at how much information I recalled from stories Aaron has told me over the years. Sometimes I ask him to tell me a Civil War story before bed (what, everyone does that, right?!) and I drift off to sleep with thoughts of Jenny Wade or the Iron Brigade. He really is the best teacher, and I love how excited he gets to talk about his favorite subject.
So...not sure what I'm writing this all down for except it's just what I'm thinking about this morning. I have the day off and plan to spend it with my two favorite boys and my favorite historian. Should be good!
Wow Jen we really are on the same page these days. Dan and I were watching the same program on PBS too. :)
