Gettysburg

We were up early and checked out of the hotel by 7:30 a.m. We had a 10:00 a.m reservation with a Battlefield Tour Guide at Gettysburg. The tour guide drove our van around the park and gave us a tour. We got out at several significant sites. The guide did an amazing job of telling the story of the battle from beginning to end. He kept the kids very interested and answered all of their questions. Our two hour tour ended up being a little over three hours. We all enjoyed Gettysburg and Trent even said that the Gettysburg tour was his favorite part of the entire trip.

We very much enjoyed our trip to DC and are so glad we visited. I was hesitant to consider DC at first because of the ages of Reed and Riley.  This turned out not to be a problem at all. The kids did great. They were fascinated with the city and were constantly looking around taking it all in. There were a few times (on tours) where their interest was lost but that is to be expected. I was able to  reengage them by pointing out things that I knew would be of interest to them.

We are sad that our trip is over but know that it is one we will never forget.
