Gettysburg...

Today we spent the day touring around Gettysburg... I tried to post some of the postcards we bought but the blog will NOT let me so will post a picture that we actually took. This is the statue of Buford...who fought in the Civil War there at Gettysburg.. We saw the hotel where Lincoln slept the night before he delivered the "Gettysburg Address.." We also went to the " Hall of Presidents " where they had all 43 Presidents in wax figures and how they attributed to our History.. Also saw some of Eisenhower's artifacts as Gettysburg was his " second home " when he was in the" White House.." We were only 15 miles from 'Camp David 'but did not drive there as we figured we would only be able to see the gate.. We have been in Gettysburg 2 previous times so we did not take in everything there was to see but it is interesting to drive through the small towns. Some of them were established in 1790's... See a lot of flags flying !! Must be PRIDE!!!!

I love when we went with you to Gettysburg way back when. When was that 12 years and no kids! Times have changed.
I'm glad you are enjoying your week off.

Mom,

Sounds like fun! Did you take a lot of pictures? Maybe pictures aren't allowed? How far do your journals go back? I am working on a wedding scrapbook and need some dates. No, not my anniversary!
