Appomattox, VA: feeling like the deep south

We busted out the tent and camping supplies one last time in Holliday Lake State Park in Virginia. Arriving pretty late at night, we had to drive down some pretty creepy roads to find our lovely little campsite and after using up the last of our camping food (soup, pasta and baked beans) for a jumbled but delicious dinner, we tucked in for the night. After our last camping breakfast of mushy and mainly bland oatmeal, we decided to take advantage of the park’s beach and enjoyed some time swimming and people watching.





 While on the road, we saw signs for the Museum of the Confederacy, and of course we just had to check it out. Being good ol’ yankees, we felt like we were breaking some sort of moral code, but curioustiy did kill the cat, so in we went. We saw Confederate army uniforms, flags, love letters and more. Overall, it was an interesting and informative pit stop, however, we were excited to get back on the road and drive north to our Union bretheren.
