Well, we have made it Gettysburg, PA! YAY! We are staying at the Gettysburg Battlefield Travel Resort, which is a pretty nice campground. The highlight here is the bath house, where you get your own little room to yourself, with a sink, toilet and shower.
However, their Wi-Fi kinda sucks, because I've been trying for an hour to get logged into GMail and Facebook, so I'm not gonna try to upload any pictures tonight. Besides, you've already seen most of them on FB anyway! The only other pictures I took today are of some cannons we saw when we wound up driving through a portion of the actual battlefield due to a detour.
Today was pretty uneventful. Since my brother's assignment to Ft. Drum in upstate NY, we have driven this stretch of NC-68/US-220/I-81 several times. It's pretty standard interstate. We have actually also stayed at this campground before - Emily, you'll be glad to know it's much nicer here when it's not raining.
Chris, you'll be jealous to hear that even though it's still in the high 80s here in PA, you can totally tell the difference from the high 90s at home.
We stopped at two Sheetz today - the one in Kernersville to get coffee on the way out of town and one in Staunton, VA. That was our only real pit stop today, so we figured we did pretty well! We also learned that you can get a cup of ice for free in any size cup, as long as you use the coffee cups.
Hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner tonight.
That's pretty much it for today - not very exciting, I know! I kinda feel like I'm in a Baby-Sitters Club Super Special, writing up my daily report for whichever girl was working on a scrapbook or had to stay home from the trip or whatever. You so know Kristy would have totally had those girls keeping a blog if they'd been around 20 years ago!
Good night - catch ya tomorrow if I can! :)
