    Took a little vacation time.

    Checked out the battlefield in Gettysburg, PA.

    Did a cavern tour

    My tallest son wasn't amused by the low clearance

    But the boys enjoyed the underground Lake.

    So did the girls.

    Went to a part of DC (National Harbor) that we had never visited

    Saw this cool sculpture

    After we returned I we helped the neighbor launch his restored boat

    I need another vacation, I'm exhausted!

    What have others done for vacation this summer?

    Gettysburg was overwhelming, it covers such a large area, has a tremendous number of memorials and many details related to the battle.

    My neighbor and his brother did most of the work, myself and my son helped a bit with the sanding, epoxying, engine work and finding bits online to help out. The boat is a 1956 Peterborough.

    We bought a home with a pool, so the wife and I pawned off all the kids to relatives for two weeks and we had a stay-cation. But normally we drive to Top Sail Island and fish for a week or so.
