#53 November 6, 2021 Gettysburg and Travel to Bryce Resort, Basye, Virginia

This Saturday is the day after a Friday family wedding near Gettysburg, PA.  Once we were up and checked out of our hotel, we spent the morning walking around Gettysburg and looking at the architechture.  I've included several pictures of houses and buildings.  I bought a loaf of sourdough bread at a baking company on the square.  
We ate lunch at Dunlaps in Gettysburg, then started our drive to Bryce Resort in Virginia.

Darrell's brother Glenn and his wife Phoebe invited us to their family vacation at a 4 season resort in Virginia.  They were staying a full week.  We were able to stay 4 nights before heading back to Huntsville, AL for some doctor appointments next Thursday.  While with Glenn's family, we were able to get a long visit in with their three daughters and a son-in-law.  They cooked for us and we went sight seeing and hiking in the area.  There are a lot of caves to visit too.  We left early the next Wednesday morning and drove a long day back to Gurley, Alabama and our airbnb there.
