For our last full day on our trip, we decided to head up to Gettysburg to visit a few spots on the battlefield and also the outlets that are nearby for some of Quincy’s clothing needs.
I knew Quincy wouldn’t have the patience for a lot at the battlefield, so we only did a couple things. We stopped on Confederate Avenue where there is an observation tower and we went up that. He really liked the view from up there. I pointed out Little and Big Round Top to him and told him we’d go there next – which we did.
While up on Little Round Top, I pointed out the observation tower we had just been on. I think he was impressed how far away it was. Quincy liked the cannons they had set up and asked a lot of questions about things. It started to drizzle, so we went to the nice, new visitor center for some lunch and shopping. Ironically, all the items we purchased there were for Quincy. One of his new favorite books is a graphic novel about the battle. It is well done, for being a kids book.
We hit the outlets for a little bit and then headed back to Rocky Ridge for the rest of the afternoon. Our flight the next day was early, so we had to make sure Quincy got plenty of sleep.
There are photos from our Gettysburg day, but not very many comparatively speaking.
