We woke up in Coatesville, Pennsylvania and headed to Gettysburg. When we got there we went to go see the twenty minute movie about it. Then we saw the cyclorama about it. There was a huge painting in the cyclorama. The painting is one hundred thirty-one years old! It was really cool to see the cyclorama!

After we saw the super cool cyclorama we went to the gift shop. We got some stuff including a audio cd that would tell us about Gettysburg while we drove around. After the gift shop we went to the car to drive around the battlefield.

These pictures are from “Little Round Top” on the Battlefield.

When we were driving around there were so many memorials. We walked up a few flights of stairs at one spot and it was a really pretty view from the top. We stopped at about fourteen spots that the audio cd told us about. It was really pretty because the sun was setting.

I learned that 252 of Minnesotas men went to fight in the war. Within the first few hours 85% of those men died. After the day at Gettysburg we drove the rv to our next campground in Millersville, Maryland. One of my favorite things about today was looking at the battlefields.
