Fort McHenry - Gettysberg

We went to Fort McHenry on our way to Gettysburg.
Birthplace of the National Anthem
O say can you see, by the dawns early light, a large red, white and blue banner? Whose broad stripes and bright stars . . . were so gallantly streaming! over the star-shaped Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore, September 13-14, 1814. The valiant defense of the fort inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star-Spangled Banner.

We toured the battlefields at Gettysburg and learned a lot about Civil War History. We also got to have some fun Saturday night playing pool, mini golf, soccer and go carts.
