Gettysburg was great. We went to a fantastic little coffeeshop called Ragged Edge, where I had the best chai I've ever had and a delicious bagel. We walked around the historic downtown area and then headed to the battlefield and spent all our tim in the visitor's center, which was huge. They have a really nice movie about the battle and then the cyclorama was beautiful: a huge, 360 degree oil painting of the battle, from the 1800s. It was amazing. And then the museum took us about 2 hours and we rushed through part of it! Really cool, I'm glad we stopped there.
We drove towards Indianapolis after that, heading down route 30 at first, where we found Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum and Candy Shop, which is exactly what the name implies lol. I wish I could upload pictures but it's not letting me for some reason. It also took us through some snowy mountain roads before we got to i-70. It was pretty uneventful after that. We stayed in St. Clairsville, Ohio for the night and headed to Indianapolis in the morning. We stopped for lunch in Columbus but didn't have any time for anything else there.
We got to Uncle Troy's house at about 5:45pm and we all went to eat at their restaurant, which was pretty good but I ended up eating too much. We talked that evening and talked over breakfast, and then we all parted ways again and Dave and I headed down south. It was really good seeing all of them again.
It only took about 2 hours to get to Louisville, so we had time to go to the zoo when we got here, and then went to a couple breweries, which was fun. We ate Kentucky Bison Burgers at the first place which were really good. I'll update again when I can! Sorry about the pictures, I tried!
