Gettysburg National Military Park





Today we traveled back to PA to visit Gettysburg.  When we first arrived we both thought it was a huge mistake.  Lots and lots of people and very tourist oriented.  We both changed our minds after spending 6 hours there.  These pictures are of a program/show using an actual oil painting that is over 300 feet.  While lighting up certain areas and playing battle sounds it becomes an immersion into an actual battle.  It gave us chills it was so realistic.  Everything about the site is amazing.  It had the auto tour like Antietam but this was bigger and better marked.  I will post again with more pictures. These were at the visitor center.  The last picture was after the storm when we returned "home".  It was right outside our door.  We hope this cools the air down though today was only in the 80's.  Tomorrow we travel and our next site only has a hot spot so it might be hit or miss with a posting.  Enjoy the pics.
