Food and traveling always come together, and I am not talking about just eating out but expanding your own culinary skills as well. In September Dave and I were visiting DC. After checking out the major attractions and going to the Nationals vs Marlins game (the new Nationals ballpark is amazing!) we decided to do a day trip to Gettysburg, the site of the famous battle during the Civil War.
To tell you the truth I had not know about it until recently (shame on me!) but Gettysburg was on Dave’s bucket list for a long time. The trip turned out to be a real eye opener for me. The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1–3, 1863, near the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The battle was the bloodiest in the American history with 50,000 people killed or wounded and is described as a turning point in the whole Civil War.
