cowpens battlefield

we are in the middle of studying the revolutionary war and were excited to find out that the anniversary of the battle of cowpens was this past week on january 17. each year the park has reenactors demonstrate musket firings, calvary competitions, and lead guided walks through the battlefield. can you say field trip?!?! we had an awesome time learning more about the important battle of cowpens and how it was a turning point in the war. the girls completed a trip journal to document our day. you can find the trip journal here on the simply charlotte mason site. it was great fun to mark the route we took on our drive and see how many neighbors we could spot on the way....we even saw cars from california and arizona!! this is a trip we will remember for a long time....
