Point Park National Military Park



When I was in the second grade I went on a family vacation to see my Dad's relatives in Georgia and Tennessee. It was fun to do some of the the same things Mom and I did on that trip on our recent family adventure. One of the few things I really remember is riding the Incline Railway car. I probably remember it because I was freaking out when I did it as a kid. I am not sure of that, but I remember me as a child and I was a wimp. I am not much better as an adult, but I have to keep calm around the children. I thought my kids would hate the incredibly steep ride up the mountain, but they loved it. They were both tickled to be on a train that has slanted seats and loved the feeling of climbing that hill. What I did love about the ride was imagining Civil War Soldiers climbing that hill to battle over the scenic spot.
