We are Family!!

Every year, the women in my family all get together in a different city to relax and catch up.  This year we decided to meet up in our nation's capital to do a little Civil War history.  We went to Gettysburg, and today we did part of the John Wilkes Booth Escape route.  We have learned about Robert Lee's bold attempt to break the Union lines at Gettysburg (this was not the best strategy he could have employed). We spent time in Ford's Theater, the Peterson house, the Surratt boarding house (which interestingly enough is now a Wok and Roll restaurant with a plaque outside), the Surratt Taven and the Mudd House.  We met and took a picture of an actual descendant of Dr. Mudd.

Part of the adventure is the laughter and companionship, there is never a dull moment.  The other part is the interesting things that we see.  While I do hold out hope that we will someday continue our Ghost walk trip, these ladies have helped shape me into the woman I am today.  Even as I write this, we are laughing about Disco music and the Abraham Lincoln activity books that we have now to commemorate this trip.

So far we have been to Washington D.C (twice), Savannah, Providence, Springfield IL, Las Vegas, Philadephia.  We have made some great memories and we laugh all of the time.  I cannot wait to see what will happen next.
