Civil War Battlefield

I love the hype of DC- the enormous, columned buildings, auspicious politicians,  the Jason Bourne looking guys that  stand guard on the street corners, the museums with world treasures.  But my favorite place to visit in the area is not downtown.  It's Gettysburg.
     It's reverent, it's fascinating, it's inspiring.  The place has soul.

When we were there this time it was WINDY. The kind of wind where you're hair explodes all over your face, where you recline into the wind and it keeps you up.  The kind of wind that is so ridiculous that you can't help but laugh out loud.
