Four Score And

While my mom was in town visiting, we took a trip down to Gettysburg and drove the auto tour route while listening to a mix of civil war inspired songs on Pandora. Gettysburg is a really amazing place - all the rolling fields and trying to imagine thousands of people fighting on the land is really quite strange. The monuments erected all around are intricate pieces of art that seem to watch over the endless fields. I always feel a bit strange visiting places of war - I'm not quite sure how to act or write about them. So I'm going to stop myself on that note and show the pictures.

  1. Gorgeous photos. War places are tough. It's hard to find the right words--if there even are any.

  2. Did your mom take the pictures? Tell her good job if she did because they are beautiful! I am really loving that fist one of you. So, fun fact: I went to Gettysburg College! I went there for my Freshman and part of my Sophomore year, so I know the town well. It definitely is eery and beautiful at the same time. As a side note, now I REALLY REALLY want french onion soup, that looks SO GOOD!
    Happy Friday to you!

  3. You look beautiful, I love that dress. What amazing pictures, historical sites are always amazing, especially places where war occurred. You're right, it's hard to write about though. I think the pictures did the talking for you just fine. :)

  4. I've always had trouble trying to explain what my visit to Auschwitz was like - there just isn't the words to describe the feeling and the atmosphere that that place now has. So I guess it's similar to Gettysburg - which is a place I want to visit some day.

  9. The place itself looks beautiful tho! I like how you paired the dress with cardigan and belt!

    I have visited several battle locations in Europe and it is actually quite scary to think about what has happened before at the exact same place you are standing. :o

    I've been compiling a list of places in Pennsylvania that I want to visit now that I live here proper. I can't believe I didn't include Gettysburg.

  21. I have always longed to go to Gettysburg! My brothers and my parents have all been there and have told me so much about the great historical events there, but I've just longed to go to see for myself. Perhaps in the future. I should have gone there for my honeymoon but nooo we went to the Poconos and bored ourselves to death. haha. I adore your photos there, especially the first one which is so fitting for the history. Perhaps when I start teaching about the Civil War to my sons we'll take a vacation there.

  22. As a fellow gal with short hair I must say I love your squirrel bobby pin! Adorable!

  23. I used to live so close to there. It's quite a remarkable and haunting place, isn't it? I actually worked a mile off the battlefield and really enjoyed driving home through it on sunny days. As nerdy as it sounds I used to love to spot the monuments of the famous generals and such on horses and you could tell by the horses stance whether they were killed, injured, or unharmed. (I'm guessing that's old news to you though...ha). Really lovely photos yet again Katherine. The second to one is awesomely ghostly. Sounds like you are having quite the time with your mom! xo Marisa

  24. I love grey and black together!

    I like places that have a lot of history. That's why I enjoy living in New England. I've always wanted to travel to Pennsylvania. I'd like to see Philadelphia and Amish country and Hershey Park. I think Gettysburg would be really interesting to visit too. I love really old colonial towns. I love visiting places like Salem that are old and have a ton of interesting history to them.

  25. I haven't been to Gettysburg since I was in elementary school, it would be so interesting to go as an adult. I love your little squirrel clip!
