Part 2- gettysburg

Gettysburg! From McClure we drove down to a town near Gettysburg to visit some of Will's friends. He has known The Rodriguez family since his teenage days and they recently moved to this area from Germany. It had been about 5 years since he saw them last. So we stayed with them in Shippensburg and drove over to Gettysburg a couple times.

Yummy Italian ice!


Silly daddy

One of the memorials near part of the battlefield

The sign they are under says "dirty billy's hats"

It was a hot day of course so I poured water all over Rachel in the bathroom. I guess she didn't like it.

Part of the cemetery

on the trolley bus that gave us rides all over town.

There was a kids museum there too. Its basically all kinds of fun, hands on things for kids to do. Rachel is in a giant bubble.

Riding the bus again. This is Rachel Rodriguez, Will's known her since she was just a wee little one. She is all grown up now and engaged too.

Rachel is standing at Spangler's spring. This was a natural spring out in a field and both the union and confederate armies used this area for fresh water to drink. There was even part of the battle taking place here back in 1863.
