Gettysburg: A Photo Essay…

Welcome, all, to Gettysburg. This is an amazingly cute little rural PA town in the south eastern quadrant of the state. It’s pretty much like any place in the western or central parts of the state except it has a) a battlefield and b) Friendly’s. After two hours in the car following work on Friday we had dinner out with Hannah’s family. Her nephew, Mason (1 and a half) gave me a sticker that said “Oregon.” I was honored. We attacked the town on Saturday, with the Sloans chauffering me around on a tour of the area.

I sat on this cannon. It was my fate…

Demonstrating the attentive 10 & 2 style (when not setting the on-board computer, that is.)

I don’t have a clue as to what’s going on here…

Boyd’s Bears Country Factory is literally the size of a barn. This is half of that barn.

Marie became very attached to several of the stuffed animals. This bear was only one of her victims.

Aside from the items documented photographically here, I also got to meet Hannah’s grandmother “Mama.” She’s an 82 year-old German woman who could be described as all boob. She was adorable. While describing her Touareg, Hannah received a look of utter disbelief as to why anyone could need an air conditioned glove box followed by “Who do you think you are?” It was hilarious.

And that’s my weekend. I’m at the studio now, where I’ve effectively done all of my work too quickly and left myself with nothing to do. This is a common occurence…
