On Saturday we went to Gettysburg because my 9yo son is a history buff. The Gettysburg Museum is amazing and definitely worth the trip. Afterwards you drive around the battlefields. You can buy a $22 CD that details the trip for you - OR DOWNLOAD THE FREE IPAD APP. (Which I only realized after I'd spent the $22.)
Anyway, the battlefield tour was interesting at first, more interesting in certain places and downright dry in some parts.
Until the Army showed up.
That's right folks, a buss full of Army cadets from West Point arrived to tour the battlefield. At which point things got a whole lot more interesting.
I think. I was too busy daydreaming to be paying much attention.
My distraction was so pronounced that my husband noticed. And commented.
Except that I didn't hear him. Twice.
After the third time I turned to him and said so politely, "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you still here?"
Luckily he is not the jealous type.
Hahaha! I would have been right there with you!

A whole lot more interesting, that is just a *slight* understatement....

Ha, those military boys are quite a breed...and very distracting.

Haha!! Interesting probably has layers of meaning around your house.

I have been going to Gettysburg for years...my grandparents took me and, just a year or two ago, I took my grandkids. One of my favorite places in the US of A!

I feel this way about sailors.

Gatta love a man in uniform ... and when it's MEN - HOLY SHIT! Was your drool noticeable? I was the same way a couple weeks ago when I was with hubby outside of McDonald's and this drool worthy, really built, tightly bunned, muscles in all the right places, good looking specimen walked past us and my husband playfully punched me on my arm and said he'd have to check me to see if I was wet.

It's like a "Choose Your Own Adventure, Kit's Vacation Edition".

I love a man in uniform so I can totally understand this.
