the British are coming...

I've always known there were guys who dress up in uniforms and reenact battles from the Revolutionary and Civil wars, and are like, ya know, really into it.

I think it's totally awesome, and it is my pleasure to now share with you my first reenactment experience. April 19 marks the anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary war, so appropriately enough it is a major holiday in Massachusetts and there are events all weekend.

As the battle moves down the road, so do all of the people watching. It was tricky to get really great, sharp pictures because we were almost constantly moving and maneuvering between the crowd. And I was trying to hold the umbrella to keep the camera from getting too wet.


I think Taylor needs in on this action, what do you say?
Next Summer, I think we need to go to Gettysburg.

America is awesome.
