Today has been a magical day - you would have thought it was Christmas in July! We started our packing adventure by finding a plate of yummy cookies and some money for us - WOW, there really is a Santa. Then, a cup of tea mysteriously appeared, Fake Aunt Kayn handed us some money - all of this before we had left, it is a magical beginning.
We started off at about 8 am on our way to Gettysburg, this is our first stop before we reach our final destination of Massachusetts. On the way we listened to the beginning of our first book on tape Savvy and then Jessica played DJ and played songs for us to entertain all our fellow travelers along the highway as we sang at the top of our voices. To continue our magical, Christmas type of day, we received a phone call from Godfather Paul who let us know that he has accepted a new job - one he is very excited about. In celebration of this event, Jessica has put together a video - let us know what you think, Godfather Paul.
Finally, we reached Gettysburg. A lot has changed since the last time Aunt Amy visited, it has become more of a tourist destination - not a big problem for us, but the ghost hunters were everywhere :0 We stopped at the visitor center and purchased an audio tour of Gettysburg and started on our way. We were not very far on the tour before Katie and Jessica lost interest, however they were good sports and took a couple of pictures, then took a nap!
From Gettysburg we headed to our hotel where we made a quick stop at Ruby Tuesdays for a salad and then off to the hotel.
It has been a magical start to our vacation! To all our loyal Brown Girls followers, we wish you a very historical good night.
Sounds like and awesome day! You are missed at home but glad you're having fun!
