Last month Roger had a Monday off, so we loaded the girls up in the car and headed out of town.
First, we headed down the road to Mt Olive, home of the Mt Olive Pickles Company. This is a must pilgrimage for a Williams, I've never seen a family eat so many pickles. Sadly, my kids are following suit. Roger had Jena convinced there would be a big pickle statue. They were both very disappointed.
Next we went to the Duplin Winery for lunch and a tasting. You have not lived until you have tried this wine. It has been one of our favorites for years. On the way home we happened across these Civil War markers. Since our dads had tortured us as kids by stopping at stuff like this we decided to pay it forward.
As luck would have it we found the site of a Confederate Hospital.
Then the site of Union Hospital.
Yep, it is the same building.
But we wouldn't want to sully a good Confederate sign by mentioning that.
We will just put the markers side by side.
A moment of silence for those who died in that battle.
