Gettysburg at its best!

We stayed for 4 days instead of a day trip and it was fun to follow the battle from the first shot to the final events. We did everything in the trip guide in our time there while taking it at our pace without having to make additional plans to fill our time. Such a fun trip! Beautiful scenery! Worth every dime you spend for it!
