Farewell, Gettysburg!

Last day on the battlefield.
Departed all mustered out.

Gettysburg is windy

 

Second day in Gettysburg. The Jennie Wade House should be called the Georgia Wade House. Or perhaps the Jennie Wade Death House. Or, really, the Ginnie Wade Death House. I guess that's a little dark. Ah well. Speaking of dark, visited the cemetery. So many "unknown" graves. Quite sad. Visited another wax museum. Also quite sad. Then bailed on Gettysburg for the pool in Chambersburg. It's what Jeb Stuart would have wanted.

To Gettysburg!

 

 

Made it to Chambersburg, checked in, and found out the pool was CLOSED. WTF, Four Points?! So, then, we went to Gettysburg. Went walk about. Went to a wax museum dedicated to the Presidents of the United States. Abraham Lincoln and Eisenhower are major favorites of Gettysburg. Major favoritism. Dinner at Dobbin House. George Washington put his seal of approval on the ice cream and sorbet. Didn't have any. Might have if Lincoln or Eisenhower had loved it. Went on the Farnsworth House Candlelight Ghost Tour. Ghosts were EVERYWHERE. They even followed us home. Hitch hiking ghosts are no joke.

Day #7 - Home on the Range

Got back to Jersey just in time for dinner with my family. I was really, really, really happy to see Gizmo, but I wasn't on top of the world about being home. But it's nice that Gizmo and Zoee were both so happy I returned. Gizmo endured the longest hug ever! I have to end this post and go and find him now.... Ciao!

Day #6 - Rollin, rollin, rollin

Check out day. Time to go back to Jersey. Such a quick trip! Had to reluctantly leave our new home. It was a total bummer. My body was on full revolt too. Before we got back on the highway, we went back down to Downtown Disney and actually did some shopping. Believe it or not, we hadn't really bought much of anything the entire trip so we finally picked up some souvenirs. Then we had a bite to eat at one of our old haunts in the area; Panera Bread. It was yummers! Luckily, I can go to Panera Bread practically anytime at all. Disney on the other hand... None of that in Jersey. Boo hiss. After we ate, we got back on the road again. It wasn't anywhere near as much fun as the ride down!

Day #1 - East Coast Ridin

After going to bed a little later than I should have, I got up a little later than I should have but managed to get out on the road at a somewhat reasonable hour. The weather wasn't pretty so it was the perfect time to ditch Jersey. Lots of traffic, lots of singing, and lots of sodas and snacks. Around 2 in the morning, we stopped off to find a hotel to crash in for the night in Yessemee or Ridgeland or South Point. I couldn't tell you which one of these is the correct name for the place. Especially since the first hotel we attempted to get a room at had "Yessemee/South Point" on the wall. Be that as it may, the Best Western there is awesome. The staff was really sweet and we got free breakfast at Denny's for staying there! Thanks ya'll!!
