Winter Vacation: Part One

Fasten your seat belts folks, there will be about seventeen parts to this post!

 Friday we stopped at the Beatty's for the night, had some great homeade pizza and good fellowship. The next morning we continued on to Pennsylvania and the Marshall's.

     

Mountains. Better scenic pictures coming.

Pastor Kevin and Miss Michelle took us over to Miss Rosie's .

 Getting ready to sing :) We did a concert Saturday night. 

 Meredith with Pastor Kevin.

 Making Muffins at Miss Rosie's that night. Stayed up late visiting with her, then got up Sunday Morning for more singing and Dad preached Sunday school and the morning service.

 After Church we went over to the Marshalls for Supper.


 All the kiddos on the devices.

 Lily with 'whiskers'



 I felt bad for this cat. The girls chased him all over the house the whole time we were there, literally from morning to evening. 

He was probably glad to see us go :)

 Monday morning it was off to Virginia, but first we went to Gettysburg.


 On the way, through the mountains...



 Yes it was mid-December, Yes it was 50 degrees, and Yes it was awesome.

 We stopped at a lot of different landmarks and saw a lot of the countryside, read the monuments, took pictures......this totally counted for History.

 Devils Den and the land below....very sobering to think of all the men and boys who died there.

 The local gift shop profited a nice chunk of change from our visit.

Okay, that's all for tonight.
Coming up next: Washington D.C.
