The boys and I did a bit of sightseeing on Saturday morning. We took a detour into Gettysburg. The boys had just watched the movie the week before and Nate is currently reading the book. We had taken the boys there about 15 years ago, but they didn't remember very much of it.
We had a blast. We bought a CD and book that let us do a self directed audio tour. Along the way we stopped and the boys reenacted the movie. Eventhough they didn't reenact this particular UTube scene, Nate did quote the movie lines as we drove past the site. (This was one of the few things the boys did remember from out last visit, so they opted to skip it this time) Even though they are almost 22 and 21 they were as happy as 10 year olds.
The pictures I posted were of some of their more animated stops along the way. The first picture is taken at the Virginia Memorial. Nate is pretending he is Longstreet looking out over the Union lines.
The bottom picture of both boys is taken at Little Round Top. The memorial in the background is that honoring the Michigan Soldiers who fought there. Needless to day the boys were very excited to find that memorial. And yes, we do have the traditional cannon photo - you're never too old to play on a cannon.
