I haven't done individual posts for 101 goals, but this one is a bit special so I thought whether or not this ends up being the start of something, it still deserves its own post.
Back in August I went to a reenactment. While this is not something that's totally outside the realm of possibility because I love reenactments, this was a bit special. Partly because I dragged my mom along (and she had an awesome time, not to mention a root beer float) but also because I got to spend some time in a living history museum, or what, sadly more accurately, used to be one. The buildings are all still made up though and the museums house wonderful little collections.
I can't say without the hustle and bustle, I would spare the place a second thought, nor would I be all that inclined to pay the admission required to take a look around, but I love that despite all that this place is still there. There's still the possibility of something beautiful and awesome, but enough about that because what I really want to do is point at photos and say things like LOOK AT THE CANNON. Although sadly I'm pretty sure the cannon photos were deleted when I ran out of room on my camera halfway through the outing. I did manage to get some video of it firing during the skirmish though so if I ever get around to putting together travel vlogs, that will make an appearance.
The reenactment was a Civil War reenactment. I normally lean more toward the Revolutionary war period, but I've come to have an appreciation for the Victorian Era, particularly with regard to England, but also to a lesser extent the U.S. My main complaints after all have to do with the Industrial Revolution harshing on my geek and have nothing to do with beautiful dresses, or monumental moments in national history. But again, I digress. It was awesome.
