Day trip to Gettysburg

Saturday we woke up bright and early to go eat breakfast at Shady Maple, which is a smorgasbord of goodness might I add. After we finished stuffing ourselves beyond all belief we took an hour and a half drive to Gettysburg (I think we needed that long of a drive to let the food settle). I have to admit that I wasn't too excited about our little outing to Gettysburg, but I am pleased to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I actually liked it. I've always wished that I could be one of those people who enjoy site seeing and visiting historical sites, but sadly I'm not one of those people. Considering all that, it was still was a very enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend going to other people and I would possibly even go again sometime. The kids had a fun time. Kaleb especially loved the visitor center which had hundreds of old guns, swords and canons. He did a great job reenacting his own little civil war with his pretend guns and swords. All I would of had to do was put jar down next to him labeled "TIPS" and we would probably have enough money to pay for gas home and dinner for the family. After the visitor center we went on a car tour of the battle ground which was also pretty neat. I would say the only bad part about our little outing was the kids having to sit in their car seats for the majority of the day.
