Gettysburg

Hello, family.

I'm up in D. C. with Trina and Adam for spring break. It's Adam's spring break too. So today, we all went up to Gettysburg. It's about an hour's drive away. We took a driving tour of the battlefield. It was pretty amazing. It's one thing to read a book about the Civil War and quite another to climb among the rocks of Devil's Den or look out across the fields from Little Round Top or see what's called the High Water Mark which was as far as the Southern army got. There are monuments all over the place for different regiments or states, cannons, markers where prominent men fell, and statues of generals. Adam knows a lot about the Civil War so he was telling lots of stories.
