Gettysburg, PA

Lincoln and his Gettysburg Address:

A section of the 377 foot Cyclorama Painting restored into a 360 degree setting with 3-D effects, light and sound embellishments to make the battle almost come to life.

I still remember my visit to Gettysburg and standing in front of the cannons that mowed down the troops in Pickett's charge. An amazing historical place.

I'm all caught up looking at your pictures. It looks like you're having a great time. Are you off to Washington DC soon? We will miss you at Halloween.
Ashley is teaching Ezra to use sign and he has a few words as well. I'm thinking about getting a new cat soon.
Looking forward to hearing more of your adventures.
Love - Carolyn
