Usually when I say this Seussical quote, I laugh because its our joke.

Day Two

Today was the second day of our summer adventure!

• Civil War - This morning we drove to the Gettysburg National Park to see the new Cyclarama dipicting the battle at Little Roundtop. This 42 ft. painting dipicts one of the bloodies battles in the Civil War. It was amazing to be sourounded by the painting with audio comentary and historical background. The most amazing thing about the Cyclarama was that it just wasn't a painting, in addition they built fences and other things near the bottom of the picture that came out to where you were standing. You couldn't tell where the picture started, feeling like you were in the battle yourself!

• Geocaching (for those of you who don't know what that is...) - Geocaching is something that we discovered about a year or two ago. Geocaching uses clues and hints to help people find boxes hidden all over your city. Some are large and some are small but they are all fun to retrieve! All caches have logs to record the date when you found the cache, but big caches have extra special surprises. Biger caches have a log and treasures and othher knick-knacks! Small caches just have logs. Today, we did some geocaching in Gettysburg. We did a nano cache (a log rolled up in something the size of a bullet). It ended up being in a street sign, so there was some climbing involved. I had to climb on my mother to get it down and put it back! IT WAS AMAZING!

The rest of the day was driving, and now we are staying in Elizabeth City overnight. Tomorrow we will drive to our final deestination! Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to our beach house!

Stay updated for future posts!

Les vacances d'été commencent !

Because its been a while since I've posted, here's whats been going on in my life since April 25th....

• Seussical; The Musical - Ended up being very successful! Five shows total and two sell outs! With the most amazing cast, dedicated crew and prepared pit made Seussical one of the most fun experiences in my life!

• End of Freshmen Year - Long story short, ITS OVER! Summer is here!!

Now that its summer and school's out, its time to make out yearly summer trip to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina! Its always fun to get away from Michigan and spend a week at the beach (attempting to tan) and seeing family! Our first stop on the trip (and where I'm posting from) is Gettysburg! Gettysburg is a famous city known for its involvement in the Civil War and other major battles.

Tomorrow, we are going to see a 3D Cyclarama/Video about the Civil War before continuing our driving.....for hours.....and hours.....and hours.......

It's (kinda) late!
