Yesterday we went to Vicksburg. We saw the Mississippi River. We are staying in a nice campground. At the Vicksburg Military Park I saw the monument for Texas. I also saw the Illinois Monument. It was huge and had a big hole in the middle of the top. It was great for echoing and making sounds from Lord of the Rings. By the way, that’s my new big movie.
Inside the Illinois Monument
I bought a paper doll book about Robert Edward Lee and his family. I miss you guys.

Hi Elise,
Your great grandmother used to play all around those monuments. Every Sunday her father would take all the children for a long walk through the park to give your great-great grandmother a little rest. The park was right up past the pasture where your Dad stepped on the fireants.
We love you!
