On our last day of vacation we made the journey home, with a quick detour at the Etowah Indian Mounds. Olivia's second grade social studies curriculum is all about Georgia, and this nine weeks they are learning about Native American populations of Georgia. She has to do a project on this topic, and one of the project choices is to make a model of an Indian mound. The Etowah mounds were five miles from the Interstate, so we stopped to check them out. The area that we visited used to be a city, but now only three mounds remain. You can climb to the top of the mounds, so that was pretty cool. There was also a small museum that told about the culture of the people who lived in this city. We took lots of pictures and gathered information for Olivia's project. This was the last stop on our vacation. I can't believe how much we squeezed into a four night trip. We had a great time.
