A Gettysburg Getaway: Our 3 Day Trip To Visit Civil War Memorials

Gettysburg is becoming our little getaway place. 

Justin has taught me how to enjoy history, especially civil war history, and Gettysburg is one of the best places to go to enjoy learning more about that time period.

For the second year in a row we got away for 3 days – sans kids – to celebrate our anniversary.

Here is a short picture review…

This is one of the very yummy breakfasts we enjoyed at the Dobbin House Bed & Breakfast where we stayed.  It was served in one of the original buildings in a very “old” setting.  A really neat experience.  I also got hot chocolate served in an old style tavern cup.  (Or whatever you call those things!)0910090846

  1. Looks like a fun trip! My husband would love to do that- he went to college in Virginia.

    Normally we don't do anything for our anniversary, but for our 10th anniversary we took all our kids with us to Hawaii. It was quite an adventure!

  2. What a fun trip! Makes me wonder, though.....do we live near each other? I am less than an hour away from Gettysburg.

    As far as my anniversary goes, if we make it out to dinner alone, we're good. We never do anything that special. We've tried to before, and it has kinda flopped.

  3. Matt loved it when my parents took him to Gettysburg. My dad loves going to the battle fields to.

    Lets see anniversary, the last few I had with H we did maybe dinner. This year I want to get Emmy baptized on that day. So Matt and I would have been baptized on out 1st wedding anniversary and Emmy on what would have been out 15th. (by that time I have no idea if we'll still be married or not- so this will make sure the day stays as special to me as it was 14.5 years ago)
