saturday;day seven: GETTYSBURG!!!!!!!! (: the definate best day of the trip.

sunday;day eight: finishing up at gettysburg and traveling back home.



overall, it was an okay trip. the beach was amazing.
gettysburg really touched me though. i loved learning and reading and just absorbing it all.
today we actually watched a video at the museum before we left and i almost cried.
it was so touching and it just was so amazing to me,
even though i read most of the things in the museum and went on the auto tour of the 25 square mile battlefield, i will never fully grasp what the people in the battle of gettysburg went through and how that battle and the war effected them.
the rest of my summer better be good (:
