• Sunday ---- Long day, very long day. Woke up about 630 am I watched a little bit on the tv before Sandy woke up and we had to start our day. We checked out of the room that we stayed in had breakfast buffet at a local restaurant that was right next door to where we stayed and if I must say so myself it was pretty tasty. Then we got on the road and drove and drove till about noon when we finally stopped at a discount place. I got cigarettes for cheep like a really needed them and I got some stetson cologne for Ted, a gift set for like 12.00 not bad for stetson. Then we got back on the road and drove till we stopped for lupper ( you know between lunch and supper). From there the day went down hill the traffic was horrible past Fredericksburg Va. We are definently going to find another way home. We did not get in to my brothers house till about 930 at night. Went to bed soon after that.

  Monday---- Day one of vacation, Oh my gosh what rain and cold boy is it cold. It is raining and it is cold this feels like winter for me. This is the kind of weather that I would build a fire in the fire place for. We got up went to breakfast at a restaurant that I used to take the boys to before moving away years ago. Some things have changed so much and yet then some have remained just the same. I am so enjoying my time with my brother and his family. It has in just this one day been such pleasure. We went to Cabelas for dinner and of course my honey had to look at the guns and things. It was interesting going out to a sporting goods store and having dinner. But I won’t tell my honey or my brother that I called it a sporting goods store. The best part about today was my girlfriend came over and brought he daughters and my god daughters daughter over. We had such a great day reminiscing of times of old and the days of the past. To see my god daughter all grown up and a baby of her own WOW! I just wish that I would have had more time with her.

  Tuesday---- Got up this morning and went to the same place for breakfast. The food is pretty good. Sandy is missing the white gravy that we get in the south but it is only a few more days and then he can have some again when we get back home. It was a pretty good day today no rain clear sky’s. I took Sandy on a tour of the places I knew from growing up. I took him to the homes that I stayed in growing up. There is parking on the sides of the streets up here so Sandy said he would rather I drive and because I know where I am going for the most part. Actually I don’t mind on bit, as a matter of fact I prefer to drive. I also took him to a place called Road side America. Nothing but model trains valleys and villages. We had a good day. Now we are going to sit back and rest for the rest of the night. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day we are Gettysburg bound. I might be able to post this then if not I will post as soon as I can.

  Thursday---- Wow I did not get a chance to post anything last night. We went out to dinner and had a few drinks before. Well the drink I had they only allow you to have 2 per night because it is so strong, I know why boy it seeks up on you. I can not hold my liquor any more. I got so sick. UHGG!! Today we tour the battlefield. I am going to try to post later.

  What a looooooooong day it was. But it was so interesting. I got some really good pictures I will post after I get home. It is so tiring even doing the auto tour. You are stopping and getting in and out of the car so much. It really is amazing the history here. I know a little because of the re enacting that we do. As we were driving thru the tour I was looking out on the battle field and the different places of interest and I could just see the men out there giving up their lives for what they believed in. All I can say is wow. There was so much that we wanted to see we are staying yet another day. If we ever win the lottery we are going to come here and stay for one month just so we can see it all.

  Well I am not going to post anything else now till after I get home so TA TA.
