Thursday - October 2

Bob: Got up and took another long walk this morning. We left Chris and Suzy's just before 11:00 and drove overland to Gettysburg. It was much faster getting to Gettysburg this way instead of going to Chambersburg on the freeway and then to Gettysburg. We decided to do the AUTO tour today. I wanted to get some pictures of some of the monuments our tour guide talked about on Tuesday when we were there. Started the tour just before noon and we didn't get back to the Visitors Center until almost 3:00. When we finished there we headed overland to Misty's and got there about 4:30. Tonight was Serenity's birthday dinner so everyone had a good time telling her what they liked about her and what they wanted for her in the future.

Bonnie:  I think I must be the luckiest person in the world!  Bob and I are free to spend our time how we want and right now we are here with family we love, seeing wonderful historic places.  We love Gettysburg.  There is so much to learn there.  And this next week we will be seeing more historic places in Washington DC and Philadelphia.  More on that later, of course.
Misty has us using Katie's bedroom in the basement, which will be perfect for us  We have our own bathroom and closet.  Even though the room is unfinished it will do very well.
May the Lord's blessings be with you all!
