Wednesday in Gettysburg
This morning we took a 2 hour tour of the battlefield on horseback. We used Cornerstone Farm and it was so much fun! http://ridehorsesgettysburg.com/
The horses were not 'trail horses.' These were nicely trained well polished (as well as you can get with a winter coat) horses. It was awesome to see the battle field form the soldiers perspective. The ridges and landscape really make a big difference. Everything in the park is how it was during the battle except that the wooded areas weren't as filled in since the farmers kept the livestock in the woods. Left more room for crops.
In the afternoon we went to Adams Winery http://www.adamscountywinery.com/index.htm
It was interesting. I never really thought about how wine was made. I thought it would be larger since they sell so much wine. They also are very dog friendly! They have numerous kitties outside and a Golden named Rusty inside. I was surprised to have a loose dog greet us inside but he is very well mannered and took his visitors right in stride. The wine tasting room is "Rusty's room" He even takes you into his room to show you it! So cute!
Here we are in Rusty's room tasting the wine
Now we are just staying in the hotel room and are going to order out pizza for dinner. Resting up for shopping tomorrow!

Sunshine Says 4/25/2012
Sunshine,
Why do greyhounds sleep in such silly and unciomfortable positions? My Boy Luka will lay on the ciouch with his head hanging over opractically touching the floor. Doesn't that hurt your neck?
Dear Luka's Mommy,
Us greyhounds are taught at an early age that this is the best sleeping position! It helps keep our bendy necks nice and limber, unlike those chicken necks we love to eat. Think about it, when we lay like that where does all the blood in our bodies go? It helps make our brains smarter! Also why we roach... Our legs don't need to be smart! Having smart legs will never reliably get you cookies. Some humans like to put pillows or stuffies under our heads while we sleep. Leave us alone! Unless we want pillows you will get the stink eye for waking us up and for interfering with our brian marinating. If you do this enough and the stink eye doesn't work we have a plan to try and befreind those kitties that have a plot to get rid of all the humans.

First dinner in Gettysburg
They slurped it down like champion travelers. Such a change from 2 years ago when Sunshine refused to eat anything for 3 days. I remember on the third day she refused a cheeseburger but ate a fried chicken patty!
Hiking the Battlefield
The sun set in us so not many pictures. The girls are EXHAUSTED! They should let me sleep tonight.
In Gettysburg!
We just got here and are settling in with a good chew I'm the hotel room. We are in room 236 for everyone who's coming here.
