I just returned from a beautiful weekend in Gettysburg. On this trip, I visited the new Seminary Ridge museum and climbed up to the cupola. I have to recommend it to anyone interested in admiring the view that Buford was able to see. I went back to "The Gettysburg Museum of History" which has a great display of not just Civil War relics but an amazing collection of items relating to many of our key historical figures. Of course, I travelled through the battlefield which, I find myself feeling more attached to as I continue to increase my knowledge and understanding about the individuals who fought there.
I also felt that since I couldn't be in D.C., it was a proper place to be on the anniversary of President Lincoln's assassination to reflect on all of his inspiring accomplishments. He truly was a great man and it was humbling to be where he delivered one of his greatest speeches.
Sadly, I am now home and will begin the countdown to my next visit.
