The underground railroad!!

Cameron had to do a history fair project for 5Th grade this year and decided to do it on the Underground railroad. We are lucky enough to have the National Underground railroad museum in Cincinnati. Plus if it is for educational purpose you can get an excused absent from school. So Cameron and I took the day off and went to the museum for the day. It was really interesting. I of course new what it was but to see it in such a real way made it so much more personal. It made me so grateful for freedom. Right across the street from the freedom center is the Ohio river which was the the border line between slave and free states. It was awesome to look out across the river and get a feel for what the slaves must have felt being so close to freedom. It was a great day and I think even Cam was able to gain an appreciation for what we have and what we never had to go through. One of Cams favorite placeS is right across the street(in the backgroud) so he had to get a picture. THE GREAT AMERICAN BALL PARK! HOME OF THE CINCINNATI REDS!!
