Gettysburg PA.

Yesterday we took the bike to Gettysburg Battle Field. Wow what a place, the museum is great and they have made the battle field like it was when the battle was fought. They have had building taken down and power lines removed. The Museum has tons of stuff and stories of what all happened there. It was real interesting for sure. We took a tour of the battle field by bus and learned about things that happened there and when it happened. It didn't stop at very many moments but the ones it did stop at were great. We learned lots and saw how it all unfolded.  In the museum we saw a movie of the battle and then they took us up stairs to see the Cyclorama. It is a painting that goes 360 degrees around you. It was painted in 1864 by a French painter and restored and hung in the museum. It was amazing to say the least. It was like standing on Cemetery Hill looking at the battle. We will probably take the truck and go back and drive the tour rout to see more of the monuments.

Today was Bristol's birthday and he turned 5. So Gloria got him a can of special cat food and put candles in it for him. He sure liked that.
