June 30:
Gettysburg
We had a full day of visiting the Gettysburg battlefield. We had our tour picture taken with a monument in the background. The weather was perfect on this trip and we saw little rain. We were also spared what could have been a really hot and humid Philadelphia. How those wonderful folk did in the 1700’s and 1800’s to walk around with all those clothes mostly made of wool even in the summer? We enjoyed our air conditioned hotels and buses.
New Hat a Day
Yes, the boys had to get hats in Gettysburg- notice a theme? Our hotel in Gettysburg greeted us with a champagne reception and we all enjoyed our dinner. The children all hit the pool to cool off after the day of touring. It also served as a place they could play and get to know each other better. By now we all seemed like old friends and even family. Our tour guide was full of information, history and games to play on the bus.
