kendra may: a drive up north, and sorts around the district

Monday, April 22, 2013

We had such a fabulous time in Gettysburg. Actually, I don't think I can say fabulous because what happened here is very un-fabulous, with all the carnage and tragedy and what not, but we did find ourselves leaving more educated and better patriots than when we arrived, so that's always nice. And Evelyn enjoyed riding in Grandpa's shoulders for a majority of the day, while Warner obviously was thrilled about being snuggled in Grandma's arms.

I do love the charm of the district. I'm a sucker for old turn of the century buildings with porticos, mansard roofs, and colorful worn brick.

Now that Grandma and Grandpa have gone, we're getting in to the groove of real life again. Which kinda stinks, but the fact that the trees are swaying with green leaves now helps to brighten the mood. I've already got so many summer trips up my sleeve, it's insane!

Ah it's gorgeous! I wish Spring would hurry up the Coast to Boston! We have only a few precious blossoms.

It's OK to say that Gettysburg is fabulous. I had a fabulous four years there in college. :-) I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves, and I love the pics from Little Round Top!
