I am Jim Crockett and I'm taking my 3 grandsons on a trip from Jackson, Mississippi to Gettysburg this July. The grandsons are Will Crockett (14), Brandon Crockett (who will be 14 on August 4), and Wes Crockett (12). The boys call me D'Dad. We will start our trip on July 6 and return home July 14. This trip should be fun and educational. We will stop at several Civil War battlefields along the way. Here is the tentative trip plan:
AGENDA
July 6 – Leave from Madison stay all night at Tula
July 7 – Drive to Shiloh in Tennessee and tour the battlefield in the morning; drive to Chattanooga, Tennessee in the afternoon and tour the Chickamauga battlefield; stay the night at Chattanooga.
July 8 – Drive to Appomattox Court House, Virginia and tour the site; stay the night somewhere close.
July 9 – Drive to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and spend the night.
July 10 – Tour the Gettysburg battlefield. Drive to Washington D. C. to see the Nationals play the Diamondbacks and spend the night.
July 11 & 12 – Drive to Antietem, Md. And to Virginia and visit Fredericksburg, Richmond and Petersburg.
July 13 – Start home! Stay somewhere.
July 14—Arrive home.
