Gettysburg FANatic!!!!

My dad is a huge civil war buff....

he watched documentaries, he reads

books, he searches online. And no matter

how much it pains me to say this....he was

probably more excited to see Gettysburg

than me when he came to visit. ;)

Just kidding, but not about him being

way way way excited to see Gettysburg.

My poor Dad had an 18 hour trip to get to MD....

he left work at about 2 p.m. and went straight

to the airport, only to find out he was possibly not

going to make it out that night. But, luckily

a flight opened up and he made it to

Atlanta, Ga. He figured he could

catch a few winks at the airport, he had

a big day the next day.....Gettysburg!!!

Well, between the floor buffers and vacuums

my poor dad did not get very much sleep.

He made it out on the very first flight and

got to Baltimore at about 8 a.m. We thought

maybe he would want to nap a bit, take it easy

and we would hit Gettysburg the next day.

Boy, were we wrong....he wanted to go to Gettysburg.

So we packed a lunch that we could eat

when we got there and headed out.

We arrived and decided to eat first then drive

the tour. Here we are making our deliscious lunch.

mmmmm....hoagies

Daniel, after lunch....Savanah 8 1/2 months prego

Here is Dad to excited to wait....

so during lunch he told us the story

of "The battle of Gettysburg"

He was a fountain of knowledge....

it was awesome to share this experience

with my Dad!!! We had our own

personal tour guide!!

Just a cool statue we wanted a picture by!!
Another cool monument

This is my cannon....no big deal

Just goofin off with the camera

reading about one of the statues

Gettysburg FANatic!!!! part 2

Oh little Mason.....get out of

that belly....I am just to excited to meet you!!!

This is where a huge part of the battle went
on....if I had actually posted this in July when
we went I would proabably remember
some more of the details, but I didn't.
So, now I don't remember....if only my
dad were here.

I think this is little round top?

pretty cool....we just had to go there.

Daniel said this pose was for Travis...

Well I just couldn't let him show

me up....I mean he's my husband.

Mom and Dad at little round top.

On top of the castle.....

Just a cool picture at the entrance to the castle.

A little bit of disc golf

My family loves a good game!!!

.....of pretty much any kind.....

So we went to the disc golf

course in Baltimore.

Look at that pretty lady,

you would never guess just how

deadly she is on the course.

She has a special and unique talent

of getting that darn disc to roll

just where she wants it to.

Daniel, setting up for the shot.
I don't really know what I am doing here.

Alright, this one I can tell just

what is going on....this must be my

hole in one shot!!! ;)

I am so sad that I didn't capture the

shot when my dad fell right on his fanny!!!

Talk about putting eveything you have

into your shots...

Here you see the rarely used flamingo

stance.....just after the release of the disc.

Who knew monkeys could play...

wait a minute that's just Travis

in the tree fetching his disc.

Shot of the day.....other than dad

falling over!!

Josh sure does pull out

the old school disc golf moves....

here we see the puffer fish throw.

Just look at the form in those

cheeks....well done Josh!!!
