Reunion Day 1: Shiloh

The Warriner family reunion continues! Our first full day, we set off (after a nice workout and breakfast) for Shiloh National Military Park to learn about the Battle of Shiloh during the Civil War. This area of Tennessee is full of history and stories from the Civil War.  I absolutely love history and unfortunately, with a 2 (almost 3) year old, my time in the museum and watching the video was cut short. I basically picked up a bunch of the pamphlets to read in the car and spent time on google learning about where I had just been.

Getting ready for the movie. Davis was a little disappointed it wasn't Mickey Mouse. 

We didn't last long inside, the big tree with big ants was more entertaining!




After visiting Shiloh, we headed to Corinth Mississippi. We had lunch at Borroum's Drug Store, where their specialty is a sandwich that came about due to the Great Depression, the Slugburger! There is even a SlugBurger Festival! I had a tuna sandwich. If you ever go, get a coke float! Delicious!

We drove around the town seeing Richard's (my father-in-law) family homes, historical sites, and truly beautiful properties before heading to Waukomis lake to continue day 1 of the reunion...to be continued!
