Joining friends for Thanksgiving, we travelled up to Gettysburg, PA to stay with their parents who recently moved there. It snowed just enough to coat the roofs and lawns, but not enough to cover the roads, creating the perfect winter landscape to enjoy from inside a cozy house.

Their house is across the street from Little Round Top, so we took a quick stroll to the top before our Thanksgiving feast to work up an appetite and have our friend bring its history to life.

It was a smart idea, as the feast was enough to feed an army. We ventured out on Black Friday for a bit of shopping at the outlets, and again on Saturday to see the college, the downtown, and the cemetery. And in honor of the Gettysburg Address being delivered in November 151 years ago, I attempted to memorize it (and came pretty close).

It was a relaxing getaway surprisingly close to DC, and I can't wait to return when it gets warmer.
