GETTYSBURG/NEWPORT

Dad and I in the Gettysburg Museum
Fact: The south took Abraham Lincoln off the Voting Ticket....and he still won!
We are on Gettysburg Battlefield looking at where Picket's Charge started in the tree line about a mile away.
Me and Mom on the rock wall that was really close to where the Yankees and Rebels started hand to hand combat.
Seth and Marcus think they might want to become Civil War rein-actors! :)
Dad is in heaven...Civil War History!
Dad with his girls....learning history with him!
Jessi wanted to dress just like me!  She is such a sweet little sister!  

This women's husband was on the confederate side and her father was on the Union side....how sad and scary that would be!
Fact: Robert E. Lee had sons that fought as Confederate soldiers for him!

We are at a Submarine Base.  We are firing some sort of gun weapons.
They were pretty close quarters in the Submarine....
Dad is reinacting "The Hunt for Red October"...
Mom got some tennis history at Newport, this is where the Tennis Hall of Fame is located.  This club had to dress all in white and they played on grass courts with smaller tennis rackets.  
READ THIS BOOK!
Isn't that special!
