Today we went to “The Hermitage”. It’s the plantation home of President Andrew
Jackson. For today’s history lesson,
General Jackson got the nickname “Old Hickory” because his soldiers thought he
was as tough as hickory wood and since he was 50 at the time he was considered
old. If it was me I would have been
called “Old Sponge Bob”. The plantation
is still over 1,100 acres in size. I was
glad that it was out in the country and not across the street from a Walmart.
Spent the evening with Jeremy and Amanda and ate a great
home cooked dinner. I haven’t done any
cooking in over a month. Hopefully I’ll
remember how to do more than boil water when I get home.
…until tomorrow.
