It's time for Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. Be sure and visit her to see all the wonderful posts!
As a graduation trip, my younger daughter asked that we go to one of our favorite places, Gettysburg. Our family of four went, Hubby, Me, Older daughter home from college and not yet working at her museum internship and my younger daughter, The Graduate. Two of younger daughter's graduate friends also came with us. The weather was just perfect and we all had a wonderful time and lots of great food.
Here is the view of the new Visitor's Center from the tower on top of Culp's Hill.
Here is a view from the tower of the Trostle Farm. I love PA barns!
The Devil's Den - Can you imagine having to climb these rocks while muskets and cannons were firing??? AND it's July and you're wearing wool???!!!
The view of The Valley of Death from the top of Little Round Top.
A NY Monument on Little Round Top

oh, i would really like to take a trip there, thanks for sharing
I have always wanted to visit Gettysburg. Someday I will. But I so enjoyed your pictures. They are so beautiful. It's hard to imagine that a battle once took place in these places...thank you for sharing! Huggy Hugs!
I always like to go to Gettysburg and just walk around the battlefields. They have some really quaint shops too. This time of the year though, it can get pretty crowded. Especially over the 4th, they usually have a reenactment.
Thanks for sharing!

We love Gettysburg too. It's been a lot of years since we were there, but I still recall the feeling of reverance and the beautiful views! Thanks for bringing back those memories for me. laurie
Enjoyed the pics of Gettysburg...although it is only 30 minutes away we don't really head that direction now that our kids are grown...but when they were little...we were there many, many weekends during the summer and fall months.
Devil's Den was their absolute favorite place to play! My now 25 year old, 6'3", 190 lb. son recently visited Devil's Den w/some friends and called me from there to tell me he couldn't believe how "small" it all looked now and that he definitely couldn't believe he used to fit in between all those rocks!
Funny, huh?!
happy 4th...enjoy!
;-D
