On that note, this is where Sean took me for my birthday this past weekend:
(Please forgive the use of Internet images, we dummies forgot out camera)This is the Doubleday Inn on the battlefield in Gettysburg. It was so relaxing and gorgeous! It was the best birthday ever. We went up on Friday afternoon and, after checking in, we walked around town for a bit. We decided to check out the Ghost Tours going on at the one place I liked before (there are 100s of tour places!). I saw they were offering a Ghost HUNT, so I HAD to go! We met back there at 9:30 and by 10:00pm we were out in the Grove with EMF detectors, EVP recorders, divining rods, and other instruments. We got muddy, but it was a lot of fun. We got some answers with the diving rods, but Sean thinks he was just "off balance". Either way, it was really cool and I would definitely go back.
The next morning we woke up to Caramel French Toast, sausage and fresh fruit.
We then went to the new Visitor's center to see the video and Cyclorama as well as the museum, all of which were cool. Then we went driving around the Battlefield and went to some Monuments we hadn't visited before. We did Pizza Hut for dinner and then went back and hung out at the Inn and relaxed for a bit. At 9:00, the Inn had a Historian/Tour Guide come to answer questions we might have. A few other guests sat in the living room with us 'til 11pm talking with this man who knew every detail about the battle. I never was that interested in History, but I sure did learn a lot this weekend.The next morning we had a bacon, egg and cheese casserole with chocolate chip scones and fresh fruit again. The InnKeeper, who is also the owner, made these breakfasts! THey also had fresh baked cookies and coffee/tea available every afgernoon. It was a really awesome place and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet weekend away (no TV...I don't know how we made it!)
Sean, you're too good to me!
