Travels to Gettysburg PA

Yesterday Paul and I left Winchester, Virginia and traveled on to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  It was a great day for a drive on mostly secondary roads through the countryside.  We arrived in Gettysburg about 10:30 a.m.

 

 

We checked into our hotel, The Country Inns and Suites which was located practically in the parking lot of the Outlet shopping area.  Paul went off to visit the Civil War Museum and I enjoyed a little quiet time at the hotel.

Once Paul returned from the Museum, we decided to do the auto tour of the battlefields.  It was a scenic drive with all the trees in bloom, but it was also very busy with bus loads of school children on tour.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We finished our day with a meal in the local pub downtown, a walk about the outlet shopping area and a glass of wine in our hotel room.



Gettysburg, the Countryside

For me, Gettysburg is; the history of the battles of the Civil War, which I posted in my previous blog, and the beauty of the countryside with its textures of the many fences, rock walls, buildings and colorful red barns.

Here are some of my favourite photos.

Gettysburg, a very interesting place to visit.
