Went to Gettysburg today with my dad... He said we were leaving at 8 but since his wife and kids were going to New York, we had to wait on them to leave first.. I do not understand why though so we got to Gettysburg just after 11am. Left the house at like 10, we left soon after they left.. Maybe it's a family thing or something.. I was kinda annoyed and thought my dad was a bit annoyed we couldn't leave earlier...

Saw a 20 minute show of the war, Morgan Freeman was the narrator and Sam Waterston was the voice of Abe. :cool:

Here are some pictures...

It was nice and we left in time since it started to rain..

Sounds like a cool trip, I've always wanted to go to Gettysburg. Just so it's not totally off topic :p Wasn't Gettysburg one of the places Beaver was going to see when he was planning that bus tour trip?
