Cookie Addresses Gettysburg

Today we traveled from Annapolis, MD to Gettysburg, PA to visit the battlefield.  We were surprised how large the battlefield area is and that the town of Gettysburg is in the battlefield.  Jennifer and Jessica share our love for history and Cookie has adopted the love too.

We viewed a film, a museum and a cyclorama.

We were taking a rest when President Lincoln stopped by for a chat.

Cookie stayed in the car while we went to the visitor center, so she was eager to inspect a cannon.

We were on a tower overlooking a battlefield on the first day.  Cookie left #1 and #2 somewhere in the field.

Being from Tennessee, Cookie likes to look at the Confederate Statues with her favorite general being Robert E. Lee.

Cookie really likes to inspect the cannons.

Cookie reads the signs and explains the history to the girls.
