Local Flavor, Mountain Style

Civil War doctor's kit
Ever since our house sold, the children and I have been taking photographs of our hometown in anticipation of our move to Michigan. We plan to use these to create a special notebook for the children to look through when they are homesick. We even took pictures of the local Food Lion because it's my three-year-old's favorite "restaurant."

We've also been photographing some of the fun places nearby that we don't usually take time to visit. Last month, we made a trip to a boot shop in a neighboring town which is home to a small, private museum. The owner has a huge collection of artifacts, newspaper clippings, and photographs. There are cases full of Indian arrowheads, Civil War bullets, pioneer items, and some more unusual items. The kids had a great time and made even more wonderful memories to carry with them.
