I'm getting ready to leave for Washington, DC for a conference. This means spending the day clearing the desk, composing the perfect out of the office reply, and, perhaps most importantly, researching tours of Gettysburg.
For you see, my conference doesn't begin until Monday night, but I am flying out early to visit Friends Abbey and Jon, who are fellow history nerds and enjoy taking trips to places like Pennsylvania. If you have a friend like that, hold on tight to them....it'll be hard to find another. Last visit, we took a drive into the heart of colonial America and spent a wonderful two days in Williamsburg. We've decided to jump forward a century and visit the battlefield where Lincoln once tread. And, it means that I can check another state off the list...only 20 more to go.
The battlefield visit is sure to be sandwiched in between shopping, eating, and a fun road trip, so really, the weekend sounds just about perfect. Almost makes the following two days of listening to federal compliance guidelines bearable. Almost.
PS. Happy St. Patty's Day, readers. May the road rise up to meet you, etc, etc, etc.
