November 19 was the 144th anniversary of the Gettsyburg Address. So of course, Gettysburg had lots of things planned for the weekend. Chris and my parents (and Elijah of course!) decided to drive up to Pa for the day on the 17th to check things out. They had a rememberance parade and that night, they had luminaries in the cemetary. The pictures don't show up very well of that, but it was so pretty. They played taps and they read off the names of everyone in the cemetary. I believe that its about 3200. The parade was was really cool too. There were tons of reinactors that walked with their units. Good ol' Abe Lincoln and Frederick Douglas were there as well!!
