Addressing Gettysburg

What a weekend! On Saturday Gina and I drove out to Gettysburg, PA. It was her anniversary present for me! Really fantastic trip, and expert planning on her part. We took the auto-tour of the battlefield, and did a little hiking on it as well. The wind was unbelievably strong, and I think we both agree we have never endured cold quite like that before.

Neither of us had ever been to Gettysburg before, and what struck us was the sheer size of the battlefield. On one of our side-trips to a museum, it was stated to be 10 miles square. Absolute insanity. Speaking of museums:

The museum in Harrisburg, is the National Civil War Museum, and wow. It is chock full of seriously disturbing realistic human exhibits. Additionally, it is situated on a mountain on the outskirts of Harrisburg, giving you an amazing view:

It was a really terrific trip, and a definite a must-revisit.

Hopefully Gina will post speaking of our dinner-theater experience!
