Vacation - Day 4 (Tuesday)

My Aunt and Uncle took Elisabeth and I to Roots Country Market and Auction in Lancaster, PA. We found ourselves in the heart of Amish Country, Antiques and farm markets. It was wonderful!

We followed this by taking a short trip to Gettysburg, PA where we spent time at the Visitors’ Center/Museum and driving around the Battlefield. Matthew’s ultimate hero is Gen. Joshua Chamberlain, a man who fought valiantly with the 20th Maine at Gettysburg. Matthew spent a great deal of time just walking the ground where the 20th Maine stood their ground on the slope of Little Round Top.

We shared a final dinner with my Aunt and Uncle and my sister and her family. The cousins played and the adults spent a lot of time catching up and talking about family.

Thought this was interesting
