Harrisburg is Civil War territory, which is probably why the National Civil War Museum is there. We went out the same afternoon we arrived in town and managed to make it into the museum before it closed.
It was a fantastic museum, with lots of great exhibits, and there were some reenactors out back who showed off troop formation and rifle drills. We had a ton of fun exploring it.
We talked about waking up early the next morning to go to Gettysburg, which was only about a forty minute drive out of town. Unfortunately, our event the next morning was too early for us to be able to make it back on time, so we didn't get out to see the National Park. Sad day! So close and yet so far...
But we had an event, which went off beautifully, and then it was off to the airport for our first break from everything! We flew back home for the 4th of July, and got almost a full week back in Seattle to rest and recuperate and prepare for the long haul... which I'm still in as I prepare this blog post! We don't have internet access too often, so I'm trying to write posts as best I can.
Our June trips, looking back on them now, were fairly calm and pretty well spaced out. Our July trips... well, let's just say things were busier! More on that to come...
