Finally, a new title. Sure it's not creative but I figured that enough's enough and part VII is just too much.

Day 14, Thursday, July 10, Gettysburg, PA. We all took our time getting up today, I didn't get out of "bed" til 9:40, a new record for this trip. We drove the camper to the new and improved visitors center and looked around a bit before heading into the theater to watch a video, narrorated by Morgan Freeman, called A New Birth of Freedom, which told us a little of the background of the Civil War and all about the 3 day Battle of Gettysburg. Then we went on a 2 and a half hour bus tour, which actually wasn't that bad. We drove around the battlefield and got out about 3 times. Our tour guide as full of information and also made a few jokes ("That mexican restaurant was there as well, The soldiers stopped at that McDonald's as well...etc....). After the tour, we rested up a bit at Visitor's Center's restaurant then hopped in the camper, and headed over to the cemetary. We walked around there for a bit and then walked town and through the town itself. We walked down to about the center of town and then, at the protest of our screaming feet, headed back up to the camper. Now, we're settled in for the evening, but we've got to be ready cause tomorrow we're headed back home!

Since we are headed back tomorrow, this seems to be the perfect time to list the states we've visited, just as a final tally of sorts....

1. Virginia
2. Maryland
3. Delaware
4. New Jersey
5. New York
6. Massachusetts
7. New Hampshire
8. Maine
9. Pennsylvania
10. Connecticut
11. Rhode Island

If only we'd just visited Vermont, then we could've really done the whole of New England...but 11 states, not bad, even if we only drove through Connecticut, we drove through it in the camper which's got to count for something. And, as of 6:08 PM on the last official camping day, we've made it through. Two whole weeks in the campers with no major injuries. Not bad considering we shrunk down from a very nice sized house to a 29-ft camper....not bad at all.....
