Gettysburg to Shenandoah.

Yesterday we ate breakfast at an old style diner. After we ate we went to General Reynolds statue and the monument for the Iron brigade. We then went to the visitors center and toured the museum. We watched a movie narrated by the best narrator, Morgan Freeman. After we toured the museum we got ice cream and lunch in town. Then we went back to the visitors center to meet up with our tour guide. We drove around the battlefield, we spent most of our time by where the fighting began on the first day. Which was where the mostly Wisconsin Iron Brigade had most of their action. Our tour guide was awesome and we are glad that we got the opportunity to go on the tour. After the tour we went around and explored the park. Dad decided to take sunset pictures on little round top. After that we went back and ate at a place called Dobbins. The restaurant building once served as a stop on the Underground Railroad and was turned into a hospital during and after the battle. Today we ate breakfast at the same place and we walked around the town. Then we drove to Antietam and toured the battlefield. After we finished we ate lunch in Sharpsberg. We then continued our journey to Shenandoah National Park. We made a quick stop at dinosaur land where we had to escape the island of dinosaurs that were genetically brought back to life.... Wrong story. After driving a little more we finally arrived at Shanendoah. We made plenty of stops up the mountains and saw some awesome views. We checked in and ate dinner at the dinning hall there. Finally we watched a beautiful sunset and are here now. -Isiah
