The daily writing prompt asks – Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

I’d like to get to the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. If you would like to see large aviation this is the place. The Concorde, A B-29, The space shuttle Discovery, and the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane. Plus, admission is free. Parking is $15 I hear.

I’d also like to see the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC. I’d better get to this one quickly the way someone is trying to erase history.

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting. Asks the Bloganuary question today.

Antietam National Battlefield in Antietam Maryland is my answer. This is just over an hour away from home so I consider that local. I spent that time commuting one way to the job for decades to it meets my definition of “close to home.” I’ve had this on my list for years now and this is the year, of course when it warms up, because its and outdoor activity.

I’ve been to Gettysburg a number of times, my daughter went to college near there. I also went in my youth and did the tours. I have a picture on the wall of my better half early on when we were just dating of her with a battlefield fence behind her on a day trip we took there.

So time to see a battlefield in my own state.
