Day 1 : Somerset, PA & Gettysburg, PA




After a 6 1/2 hour drive we arrived in Somerset, PA.

This is the site where Flight 93 crashed into a Pennsylvania field. The following is a picture of the crash site. You would never know anything crashed there as the "crater" has been filled in.


Wow...quite touching and sad. Thinking about the families of the victims - it was especially sad when the woman giving the speech would explain the families left behind. One girl left behind 2 small boys. Another man left behind 2 small boys (ages 2 &4) and a pregnant wife - pregnant with a baby girl....ummmmm......sound familiar? It really helped me think about their circumstances. I think I'll be praying for those families more now. Although the crash was almost 9 years ago - I'm sure the pain is as great as if it happened yesterday.

The next 3 pictures are of the memorial site in Somerset, P.A.:





So we left Somerset and umm.....we were on some EXTREMELY curvy roads with reallllllly steeeeeeep drop offs. Yeah they all teased that maybe I only have 5 hours until Adelynn's birth vs. 5 weeks! I have a good picture of this too...



Then we visited the Gettysburg battlefield. I climbed to the top of a tower similar to the state park tower. If you know me very well at all - this was quite impressive! :) I do NOT like heights and I am 8 months preggo! I survived but not without some sore muscles! ;)
