Day 14-Gettysburg

We have slowed down a bit and enjoyed our day in Gettysburg. We started out at Gettysburg National Park visitor center where we saw a video, the museum, and a cyclorama. Colbie did her Junior Ranger book but mommy was not happy because it was way too difficult. After mom complaining and Colbie getting her certificate, we did some shopping in the gift shop and went on and driving tour of Gettysburg. We started with the union monuments at Pickett's charge and got pictures of everyone coming through the field reenacting Picketts charge. Then we wised up and went over to the Confederates side and saw Robert E Lee's statue and the representation of the Confederate states. Every time we thought daddy was behind us, we looked back and he was talking to more people. I think he would make a better tour guide than the people that actually worked at Gettysburg. Someone asked me if he did reenactments. He could point out all the key places from the Confederate side to the Union side, from Seminary Hill to Cemetery Hill and Big Round Top. We went over to Robert E Lee's headquarters and saw the museum there and the gift shop. It was a nice quiet day and we ended up doing a little shopping downtown and ate at Dubbin's Tavern, an authentic looking Irish pub with interesting and excellent food. Daddy had a spit of chicken and mommy had a gill of porridge and a salad. Tomorrow we will head home, it is a 15 hour drive so we will break it up into 2 days. All in all a great trip. Colbie said besides the shopping her favorite thing was Plimoth Plantation. Callen loved the Amish Country and Kayla loved The Boldt Castle.
