Trip North: Gettysburg

Back in June, on of Roger's coworkers got married up near Philadelphia. So we took a trip up north to visit one of our favorite states. Roger and I visited there 8 years ago and loved it. So we took the girls on an old fashion car trip, complete with "I'm bored" and "Are we there yet?" We went to Lancaster and Hershey first. The last time we went, we took the interstate the whole way following a map (I know we are old). But this time the GPS took us on a Hwy around Baltimore and through Gettysburg! It was a great added bonus to the trip.

Since it was Gettysburg, one of the worst battles of The War Between the States (that's the Civil War for those of you north of the Mason-Dixon), we chose sides. Roger and the girls, all born in the South.
And me, the odd mommy out, born in Union territory.



Our attempt at a family shot. Thanks to the fellow traveler that took this for us.
