I have been on a roll lately and do not want to lose steam while blogging. Sometimes I get so caught up in my blog, I will get totally sidetracked on the computer and that's the end of progress for the day for me. Since I had such a long entry yesterday, I'm going to to my photo blog for my most recent trip to Gettysburg first, rather than at the end of my writing about it. I have more than made up for my dry-spell in July...already my stats are picking up much faster than July's did. I'm really looking forward to blogging this month!
Faith's First Gettysburg Trip Photo Blog: July 2011

Faith and Schmoopy Pie being interactive in the Visitor's Center |
|
Faith gets a history lesson from Sgt. Sweetheart on Little Round Top |
|
Watching the battle of Little Round Top at the location of the battle |
|
One of the thank you notes left at the 20th Maine memorial |
|
Faith got a littler nervous checking out Sachs Bridge after dark. |
|
Fortunately, the most terrifying thing we caught on camera was my face in this photo. |
|
Faith was attracted to the Wheatfield |
|
One of my favorite location's is Devil's Den |
|
We toured the Jenny Wade house for the first time. Legend has it, if a woman places her left ring finger in the bullet hole that killed Wade, she will receive a marriage proposal within a year. Yes, Loveypants was there when I did this. |
|
Faith felt tall, Tall, Dark, and Handsome managed to not clunk his head. |
|
Watching Pickett's Charge at Pickett's Charge before walking it ourselves... |
|
barefoot. We left our socks and sneakers behind. Fortunately, they were there when we got back. |
|
At the Union lines (or halfway through the walk, as we had to turn around and go back). |
|
Faith was sleepy/scared (?) during her obligatory first ghost tour. |
|
We ended our trip in Lancaster visiting General John Reynold's grave. Reynold's was killed on July 1st. |
In conclusion, a great time was had by all. Special note to my darling other half, please pick an alias, or the revolting names will continue.
