Fort Granger

Well, today Bart finally had a day off from work, so we decided to go and find the Johnny Cash Museum. Well, the directions that we were given, didn't quite get us to the Museum. We ended up downtown at some kind of little shoppes.

 

There was a Confederate Soldiers monument in the middle of the round about where the shoppes were.

 

 There were these old cannons in the with it, that were pretty cool.

 Bart was checking to see if it was loaded! ha ha. There were 4 of them here.

 We were walking along, and I look up. There was a dog on the roof of this house! He had just come out of the window. I guess this is their way of letting him out for some fresh air.

My handsome guy.

 Then, we found my new car! This is the one that I want! It was just sitting there waiting for me. The guy didn't leave the keys in it for me tho. I texted a picture of it to the kids, and they came unglued! They said that I couldn't get it cuz we are a FORD family. I asked them if they would make an exception, and they said NO. So, I guess I will have to wait.

After browsing the little shoppes, we decided to drive around and see what more there was to see. We came upon this place - Fort Granger Park.

 

 I guess it was where they battled, and there were all these trenches that you could walk around in.

They were pretty deep, and went on for miles! I could only imagine having to dig all of these out by hand back in the day. Everything as green. We have never seen so many shades of green before.

 The birds here are so colorful too. (I can't believe that I am getting excited about shades o green and birds! I guess living in Las Vegas, you just get used to brown everything!)

It wasn't what we planned on doing today, but at least we got to get out and see a few little things. Hopefully we will get to see some better stuff on another weekend.
