Flags in Gettysburg

We traveled to Gettysburg on Saturday. Shirley did a little shopping and then we went to our favorite place to eat, Dobbin House. We love the french onion soup. Next was a visit to Evergreen Cemetery to look for the grave of Shirley's grandfather's brother. We have been during some family tree work on her family and found he was buried in Gettysburg. This was our second trip looking for the grave and we found it. He was a Lutheran minister, as is his grandson, who we have to contact. While in the cemetery I looked up and saw all the flags and just had to photograph the sight of the red, white and blue. It was very moving to see the lines of flags. We were there in the late afternoon and it was cloudy which made for some good light to take the images with little shadows. Remember on Monday to pause and thank those that have served to make this a great country.

Eating in Gettysburg

We were in the Gettysburg area Saturday afternoon for a niece’s birthday party and decided to visit the Outlets and Dobbin House. After taking in a few stores at the Outlet, our stomach’s voted for dinner. Being in Gettysburg, there was only one choice. Shirley and I love Dobbin House and see it as a treat to take someone with us. In this case it was family. There was a wait of 20 to 30 minutes that stretched to just short of an hour,, it is one of the few places that is worth the wait. Of course, I had my camera and took some images during the wait as day turned to night. While there is the Alexander Dobbin dining rooms, we like the Springhouse Tavern. We find the tavern romantic and enjoy dining by candlelight. The grandchildren are happy as Madison gets a fruit platter and Emma gets a cheeseburger, plain, only cheese. Shirley and I got our usual meal of onion soup and open faced ham sandwich with spinach, cheese and mushrooms. Becca decided to try the onion soup and enjoyed it. Sean had the soup of the day which was a gumbo and he said it was good. Of course, I haven’t had anything there that wasn’t good. If you are ever in Gettysburg, we suggest you stop by Dobbin House for a dining experience.
