Gettysburg

Today is Veterans Day.  It is a pretty big holiday here in the D.C. area.  Since I did not have to go to work, a friend and I decided to go to Gettysburg.  Since she always drives her car, I decided it was my turn to drive.  We did not have too much trouble getting there.  It is about 80 miles northwest of D.C.  in Pennsylvania.  By the time we got gas, something to eat, went to the visitor center and such, we did not have a lot of time to see the battle fields before it started getting dark.  On the drive home, the 489 was bumper to bumper and stop and go traffic.  It probably took us two hours to go about 20 miles.  There had been an accident that had stopped up all of the traffic.  All in all, we had a great day and adventure.
