Catching Up

I looked at the blog this morning and realized how much you must have missed of my month.  We saw Dad onto an airplane in Baltimore shortly after my last post.  We then spent some time with Fidelio and her energetic family.  (BTW, Becket Gamgee is SO cute!)  After that, we went to...

Mother Seton's Shrine

One of the rooms she taught in [Stone House]

The room where she died [white house]

The Basilica

Her Tomb

Mount St. Mary's Lourdes Shrine

Nativity Statue

And we also visited Gettysburg(!)  It was a breathtaking experience.  I couldn't believe how far you could see from Little Round Top and how far away the Seminary tower was (where Buford observed the battle).  It was awesome to follow up our Maine trip with a trip both to Fredericksburg (June) and Gettysburg.

We had a great time and now we're enjoying the company of little ones...and going nuts.
