Gettysburg

I will be quite honest; we went to Gettysburg at the end of August to stay in a "haunted" inn, the Farnsworth House Inn. It was quaint, and there were plenty of creepy things hanging around (see picture!). However, there were no ghosts. We ate some "period" meals (fresh baked, fluffy gingerbread was a highlight!), drove through the battlefields

(which looked much like the picture, but some others were much more overgrown) on our own and on a tour, and went on a ghost tour in the dark. One of the most amusing portions was after the ghost hunting, we were taken to the basement of the Farnsworth where the tour guide (also our tour guide form the afternoon, by coincidence?) told us ghost stories. He is a talented narrator, so we all enjoyed ourselves.

This was a fun weekend trip, as I had never been to Gettysburg before. I was reminded of the history I learned in school.
