Our Historic Spring Break

Ellie and I were lucky enough to have Daddy home

with us EVERY DAY last week for his Spring Break.

It was so much fun to have him around. Ellie got EXTRA

attached to him as has been giving him LOADS of extra

hugs and kisses ever since. I love it. SO anyway, we chilled

together most of the week, but decided to take a day trip on

Friday and drive up to Gettysburg. It was a lot of fun. Ellie

liked walking around the museum (and sitting on all of the

different benches along the way... "sit down... sit down"...

I can still hear it). Anyway, then we took a driving tour of

the battlefields. It was beautiful and very awe-inspiring.

Then a quick peek at the belly that's been growing.

We didn't get a ton of pictures or wander much since
Ellie spent the whole driving tour like this.

The old buildings and houses were beautiful. There were
monuments everywhere, and I was lucky to have Adam teach
me about the battles and sequences of events along the way as
I drove. This cemetery in the picture is actually where Lincoln
stood to give the Gettysburg Address... very cool.

Then we stopped to eat our lunch in an empty
parking lot. Adam sat on the ground behind the car,

While Ellie and I sat in the back to stay a little sheltered from the wind.

Until Ellie decided to climb out and put on a total
show for us. She was just dancing and jabbering and
being a complete goofball. She loves to show off and make
people laugh and clap for her.

See what I mean?

That's our Ellie.

She ate most of her lunch on the way home. She
loved having her own little tray of food to hold.
It was a great trip.
