We did the same last summer. I'll be in Richmond in May but since I'm there for the NASCAR race, probably won't have time to visit the cemetary.

One of his favorite movies in Gettysburg. At 10, I think he's a little to young to slog through The Killer Angels, but soon he will.

Our sons sound very similar.
Mine is almost 14 now and doesn't obsess over the Civil War anymore - although I still think he'd probably enjoy more trips to Gettysburgh.

We have family in Richmond and my cousin took us through Hollywood one day...I was amazed at the history there.

Jefferson Davis and his family. James Munroe (very impressive grave).
Picket and his men.
there's a huge pyramid where they have a mass grave for confederate soldiers.
