June 12

Josh and I had a lovely (kid-free) day, complete with a tennis lesson, a few hours spent at a Civil War re-enactment, and a slow game of Scrabble after dinner.

We learned about the Zouaves from this Union soldier.

The Yankees march onto the battlefield.

Casualties were many, but the little drummer boy stayed at his post.

It seems like forever since we've had a day like this. No rush, no work, no demands. So nice.
