A Glimpse Into The Past
A while back I wrote something about going out to the now deserted Copeland Road Prison. Today, after clicking from link to link to link off of some homeschooling website I came across this. It would be a good idea to mute the sound on your machine before you click on it though. If you can bring yourself to look past the annoying banner ad and the really horrible design it is pretty interesting. I found a whole ton of places that would be really cool to go take black and white pictures of. It might be cool to pick a place near us once every couple of months and make a weekend trip of it. Spend a week researching, maybe dig up something interesting about it to talk to the kids about before we went there. I found out where Al Capone's mansion ruins are here in Florida. There isn't much left except stone steps so I don't know if it is worth visiting but things like that are everywhere. There are a lot of places that have little or no ruins left but some of the places are well preserved. Just a thought. Maybe there is something interesting near you.
