Last week I went to Gettysburg with the Scotty Group and my friend Brook.
We arrived at the camp late on Friday night and toasted marshmallows. I burned my hand in the fire but other than that it was all good. Since Brook walked into a spider web, we had to take showers and go to bed.
On Saturday morning, we woke up and make Sticky buns.
After eating the sticky buns, my family, Brook, and I ventured out to The Gettysburg National Military Park and Visitor Center.
While there we explored the museum and looked at the Cyclorama. My dad and I took great pictures of everything there. (Click Here to see the pictures) After leaving the museum, we walked the Battlefield. There was so much to see. There was the fence, a fence that was distinct in its own way. 
The fence was shown in the Cyclorama and in the movie and the museum. I got to see the real original fence up close in person. I never thought something as plain and ordinary as a fence could have such a great impact on a person. More than 100 years ago, People had died on this fence and I got to take pictures of it and touch it with my very own fingers. It was an experience I will not soon forget.After exploring the Battlefield, We got to go to a four story teddy bear factory. I’ve never seen so many bears in one building. I had left my camera in the car so I couldn’t take any pictures. Click here for the website. After the bear factory we went back to camp.
Sunday morning, we went to a huge candy shop. It was known as Mister Ed’s Elephant Museum. It had so many statues of elephants. They also sold fresh roasted peanuts. They tasted so good. I didn’t get any pictures but I found their website, Click Here.
After that we traveled home. It was about a four hour car ride.
Next week, I have finals in school. I hope I am ready.
