Travel Experiences
Gettysburg, PA, USA
I took my kids here so could they could learn more about Gettysburg and our country's history and it ended up being a bigger history lesson for me!. My kid's knew more than me about Lee, Grant and Gettysburg. It's amazing how much US history I had learned in grade school, that I had lost over the years. It was good get it back.
