I went with Ken to Warner Rabins GA this August.
He was asked to do a retirement ceremony for a friend at the Air Force base there.
The base was actually very pretty.
It had a 3 mile fitness route that wound through wooded areas,
past a horse farm, and by a few small lakes.
By the way, which I actually used several times :)
We had a day to site see so we drove to Macon GA.
We walked a bit, toured a historic home from the 1800's and ate some delicious burgers.
I had a burger with bacon and peanut butter (a little jelly too)
It was DELICIOUS!
These are a few pictures from the Cannonball House.
Name thus because a cannon ball hit the home during the Civil War.
During Sherman's March to the sea,
it was ordered to destroy Macon but the bridge was washed out
so they could only shoot the cannons from beyond the river
- this house got hit- but Macon did not endure much damage.
This was the coolest stop. The most unusual cemetery we had ever seen.
It went on forever! (65 acres)
The family lots are separated by short brick or stone walls.
It was built on a hillside- giving spectacular views.
Over 1000 Confederate Soldiers were buried there.
