Civil War Battlefields

Today was Civil War battlefield day. We started in Gettysburg (my favorite), then Antietam and ended with Harpers Ferry.

Gettysburg

Here is the town. I have a deep love for this place. No matter what I see, this is always my favorite place.
Graves.

My dream home... It was just hanging out on the battlefield. Perhaps I had to venture through woods to get a shot of it.

Antietam

Bloody Lane.

Overlook tower.

The next little bit is of the town Harpers Ferry. I didn't get any pictures that fully captured this little town. It was a gem and one of the coolest little towns I have ever been to. We spent an hour or so just walking around town. It is right on the Shenandoah river. Most of the buildings are the originals and it used to be quite the place. The park Ranger compared it to Boston and Philadelphia back in the day.

It was full of history and witnessed a lot of the civil war. It switched between Confederates and Union possesion eight or so times.

Jumping picture with the bridge.

The local Church.

Older part of town. Most of the town looked similar to this. Really a quaint little place.

Some other highlights of the trip include discovering real thrift stores, eating tasty cakes (lots of them), good restaurants, talking to park rangers and witnessing my sister's mad parallel parking skills.
