Fort Ross Pics Jan. 26-27, 2009

Finally, here are some of the pics from Fort Ross. Sorry they are so small. This took me a couple of hours to do (there were over 2500 pictures to go through)

If you ever have a chance to do an Enviroment Living (history)Program, DO IT! It is sooo worth EVERY penny. Some balk @ us for spending the $$ to do them, but, you know what? A trip to Disneyland or anywhere else would cost a lot more than this does. The kids will remember this better and have the memories to go with them. What a better way to learn history?
