Good old Gettysburg. Real cute little town.. but sure does strike a cord when you realize what has happened outside of town. Huge fields laced with statues and cannons where it all took place.... museums with the battle explained and a cemetery where the dead lay memorialized. Pretty awesome.
Anyone goes... i highly recommend the visitors centers movie that puts it all in perspective. Very informative and lays out what you are to see (and interesting facts.. did you know the south and north initially squabble was not about whether to not have slavery or to have have slavery... but only whether to allow slavery on the new frontier out west? One thing i didn't know). Then you get a full 360 degree view of the diorama (?) ... a posted a couple pics. Followed by the musuem with artifacts.
Most of our time was spent at the cemetery where Lincoln gave his famous gettygburg address. Lots of pictures there.
You guys like like you're having such a great time seeing so much of this beautiful country of ours. Miss you both!
