We spent this day doing some of our favorite things.....Sandy - genealogy and Ron -Civil War. I was able to locate the site of the Bufkin Plantation - home of the first Bufkin to America. The home was not still there but we could see the place. That was cool for me. This was located in Isle of Wight, Virginia.
Up the road about 60 miles is Petersburg. They have an extensive Battlefield Park that we were able to visit. In the picture Ron is investigating the site. We had our own problems there. In the middle of the driving tour our car would not start. The hour was late and we had visions of saving money on a motel room because we would be spending the night in the car. However we were rescued by a couple who lived in Chapel Hill (Lee's college home) and who had visited San Antonio and Gruene. They jumped us and we were on our way.
We ended the day with Olive Garden.......yum.
