Alabama Outing

We spent one of our first weekends in Alabama exploring a historical site.  Fort Jackson and Fort Toulouse share a historical park with some recreated Creek Indian houses.  Unfortunately, there weren't any living history activities going on during our visit, but it was interesting to walk around the old French and American forts as well as follow the trail out to an Indian burial mound.  The forts are located where two rivers connect, so the walking trail lead us to a nice overlook where we could see a lovely view of the water.  Holden was our very dedicated map reader/tour guide:
