Gettysburg...

The next leg of our travels took us to Gettysburg. We stayed at Artillery Ridge Campground. It has accommodations for those traveling with their horses. The nuts falling from the trees onto our roof at night sounded like gunshots sometimes! They interrupted Jack's sleep and freaked out Maggie and Ryan a few times! The place is old and has far too many trees, squirrels, and nuts for our taste but, at the Passport America rate we got, it was a good deal. Federal parks and monuments were still closed but we enjoyed walking around Historic Gettysburg and did get to see the national Cemetery when it opened just before we left.

We had lunch in a nice little place called The Blue and Gray. The burgers are named after Confederate and Union Generals and arrive with the appropriate flag when served. Cute idea and delicious burgers! Oh...we both had Union Burgers. :) We sat at a table by the window and this was our view.

The Gettysburg Hotel on Lincoln Square

An old B & B that caught my eye...

Gourds on display outside a shop...

The Pub and Restaurant. We didn't get to try it but I love the outside...so inviting!

My maiden name is Ventura, so you know this place appealed to me! My brothers got a kick out of these photos as well :-)

Photo bombing Abe Lincoln!

This is a sculpture in front of the John Wills House on Lincoln Square. It depicts Lincoln, with a typical tourist, pointing out the room in which he wrote the Gettysburg Address.
