I really can’t call it jet lag, because we traveled by car, but I still definitely feel a bit of vacation lag at the moment.  There is just something about riding in a car for 11 hours or more – it really starts to wear on ya.

Last week my wife, Abby, some of the wife’s family, and myself took a weeks vacation to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  All of you who read this blog know about my fascination with the Civil War, and after my trip to Shiloh a few years ago, I knew I had to visit Gettysburg as well – and it didn’t disappoint.

We visited the battlefield, took in the town a little, visited Washington, D.C. and just had a great time.  We stayed in a private campground near Gettysburg, and we loved spending the time outdoors, although the sweltering heat and humidity did make it a challenge at times.

We had an incredible week, and once I get things back in order around the homestead, you can be sure that you’ll see a few posts about our experiences in Washington, Virginia, Maryland, and most important of all, a little town in Pennsylvania.

It was incredible.

Hopefully, while I was gone, you took in Matt’s post about his first fishing experience in Hawaii.  It sounds like it was one heck of an experience.
