Today we visited Gettysburg. After stopping at the Visitor's Center (and the gift shop!), we decided to purchase the driving tour cd. It was very informative, giving us lots of background on the wonderful soldiers who fought and died for our freedom. It was very humbling to realize we were actually walking on the very same ground that many men fought and died on so many years ago.
While I was here with my family years ago, I don't remember much about it, so I took lots of photos this time at each stop.
A farm that played a prominent role in the battle, still working today (I took this picture as much for the beautiful scenery as for the history of the area):
Aidan at Devil's Den:
At the stop just before Devil's Den, I was preparing to take a picture of Bob & the kids, when a nice gentleman asked if I would like to be "on this vacation, too!" and offered to take the photo. Yes, contrary to the what the photos say, I was on this vacation, too!
