Our first stop today was Kennesaw Military Battlefield National Park. This battle was won by neither side but was the last major battle before Sherman captured Atlanta.

 |
| You cannot visit a military battlefield without seeing cannons. |
 |
| From the top of Kennesaw Mountain, you could see Atlanta skyline in the distance. Atlanta is about 20 miles from this mountain. |
 |
| This is the trail to the top of Kennesaw Mountain. We had to rest a couple of times but made it to the top. |
 |
| At all battlefields, there are lots of monuments. This one was for Union soldiers from Illinois. |
 |
| We drove to the Confederate Cemetery. |

 |
| We left the battlefields at 3:30 and began the three hour drive to my friend Cheryl's in Robbinsville, North Carolina. |
 |
| The above pictures show the beauty we were able to enjoy as we drove east. We arrived at Cheryl's around 7:00 p.m. and immediately began talking and talking. We had so much to catch up on. Cheryl and I have been best friends since our freshman year in high school nearly 60+ years ago. |
