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.

Here are some pictures...

The Civil War cemetary at the National Cemetary. This is the unknown graves.

Grave of a known soldier.

The marker at the foreground shows what state and how many are buried behind the marker.

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

Wasn't Gettysburg one of the places Beaver was going to see when he was planning that bus tour trip?
