What better way to Celebrate Veteran's Day...

....than at a Revolutionary Battle site.  We got the Z-Squad geared up and headed over to King's Mt.  We decided that the 4 miles last weekend just wasn't enough, so we opted for 6!
























It was beautiful!

We got to watch a video on the battle of King's Mountain and also learned about its importance in the Revolutionary War.  After the video we were off to check out a few of the re-enactment areas including a camp and a firearms demonstration.  Very informative - and judging by how much Ze-Ra rattled off at dinner, she loved it!

To top it all off, we headed out to get some cheap fuel at the recommendation of a friend and saved $0.40 per gallon....which in our Z-Mobile, is a ton!

I hope everyone has a beautiful day today and gets to take a moment to really think about the appreciation they have for all of the men and women that have given so much of their lives, perhaps their life itself, to make sure that you and I have the ability to do whatever it is we choose to do every single day.
