Year 5 - Day 16

30Jun15

We visited the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and his birthplace home in downtown Staunton. His father was a minister, and although he was born here, his family moved to Augusta, GA when he was about 18 months old and he grew up there.

We visited the Clinton Presidential Library last year, and I am finding that I really enjoy them! What a fountain of information! I knew practically nothing about Woodrow Wilson, but he was a groundbreaking president in many ways, and led our country through WWI. Sam completed a scavenger hunt questionnaire, so he learned a lot, too!


After stopping for lunch, we visited the Bruce A. Elder Antique Car Museum, but it was closed. We viewed the collection through the showroom windows, and he had a few unique vehicles.
 
A quiet afternoon at the campground finished up the day, feeding the ducks and letting them chase us around the camp. LOL
