Morning,
So my family (three boys 12, 10, and 6) are going to be in Fairfax County, VA for Easter visiting family. Rather than bee-lining back to North NJ afterward, (kids are on break), I thought an inexpensive and educational mini-vacation might be spent seeing some civil war battlegrounds in the area. None of us have ever done such a thing.
I'd like to find a place(s) to visit where the kids can easily envision what was occurring on the fields at that time - another words either the place has good guides that walk you thru or the land has enough physical characteristics so that young kids can appreciate what was unfolding on the ground they are standing on.
Any suggestions? I'm going to try and do this real low budget by using Marriott points for the nights...
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
