Weekend Fun

We spent a long Labor Day weekend in NJ visiting my family. I got to spend time with my nieces and we went to the beach and to Gettysburg. Our beach day wasn't too great - it was cloudy and gray. But, we all had a great trip to Gettysburg.

We watched the movie "Gettysburg" in the car on the way, then picked up our tour guide for our battlefield tour. The size, variety, and number of monuments is amazing - you have to see it to believe it. The scenery was beautiful and it was a great history lesson.

We even saw a canon demonstration, which the men quite enjoyed.

After our day of touring the small town of Gettysburg, we made our way to Lancaster for dinner at Shady Maple - the biggest buffet you will ever see.

We spent Sunday and Monday doing nothing but playing with the nieces and visiting family. It was nice to get away, but it's always nice to come home.
