Miss me? 🙂
I just returned from the best trip I’ve ever been on … and I don’t want to be back. Guess I’ll always have the memories though, right?! Last Friday I went out to FC for good ‘ol Heritage Days Fun. I went to yard-sales with my family, watched the 5K race go past my parents house, had some good eats at Heritage Days, watched a good band with my dad, spent some qt with the family and the cats, and had this evil desire to inject my mother with sleeping medicine so she would stop talking. You think I talk a lot? Obviously you haven’t met my mother … she actually talks to herself if she has nobody else to talk to. I also hung out with my grandma and grandpa, ate some good grandma food and got my birthday present from her … a new coffeemaker.
On Sunday night I came back to Pittsburgh, packed up my stuff in my awesome yard-sale suitcase and was ready for the real fun. On Monday, Bryan and I headed out to Gettysburg, PA to visit and tour some of the things from the battle there during the Civil War. I had the BEST TIME EVER. Some highlights from the trip include marching through a field of waist high grass and bugs as we reenacted marching in the battle. I was exhausted by the end of that! Food, a nice hot shower, and a hottie by my side really did a lot to perk me back up for the rest of the evening though. We also toured the Eisenhower farm and got to walk all around the farm and do a tour of the inside of the house which was one of my favorite things. We did a bunch of shopping in Gettysburg, walked around the college campus, and went on a Ghost Tour at night. We also took the auto-tour which took four hours but we got to see a ton of stuff, like Devil’s Den where I took a picture of Bryan on a huge rock that the soldiers hid behind during the battle. There was a cool spot to watch the sunset but it ended up to be a cloudy day and it started to rain in the evening so we didn’t get to do that. Other things that were awesome include our hotel equipped with a huge bed and of course a bathtub where I indulged in a nice hot bubble bath, lots of good food, and of course the town itself … it was just charming. I am now the proud owner of two Gettysburg t-shirts, two Gettysburg key chains, a Gettysburg college key string thing that replaces my Pitt one, and a Gettysburg college coffee mug. I think I’ve fallen in love with the town. Someday I will go there again and never come back. Best three days I’ve had in a long time, and the best tour-guide a girl could ask for.
Pictures will come eventually. Since I took over 100 and still want to see some of Bryan’s, and I’m just too lazy to do it right now!
