Today is our 3rd day of vacation in Gettysburg. The weather app says it is going to be the closest to a rain-free day as we will get during our whole trip, so we plan a day of outdoor walking and hiking.
Our morning starts with breakfast at the Lincoln Diner in town. I ordered my typical breakfast sandwich and Lucia opted for the variety plate – egg, bacon, homefries and toast. We also ordered one French toast and it turned out to be the best decision of the morning! It was crispy on the outside and flavored with a hint of cinnamon and powdered sugar on top.
After breakfast, we ventured through the tourist section of town, stopping into several little shops, along with a pit-stop at the municipal building to pay the parking ticket we got while eating breakfast… oops. Both of us were surprised at how many stores welcomed Marshmellow inside!
With my hot flashes at their peak of the day, I stripped down to only my tank top, not caring in the least bit when others gave me the “why is she almost naked” look. The temperature was about 62 degrees, but thanks to #chemopause it felt like 102!
With an overcast sky, comfortable temperatures and no rain in sight, we head to the nearest mountain for hiking, which happens to be in Maryland about 30 minutes away from camp. Unfortunately, after arriving at the park visitors center, we learn that dogs are not allowed on any developed state park land in Maryland, including all waterfall trails. Because this is the dumbest law that I have ever heard, we leave Maryland as quick as we drove in!

Though a hike would have been nice, neither Lucia nor I did much complaining because we were still a bit tired from last weekend’s “5k Run of the Dead” and the early week traveling, so we grabbed some goodies at the local market and headed back to fire up our grill at camp.
Burgers and steak along with a good Netflix movie that we brought, made for a very relaxing evening! Marshmellow was thrilled to hang with us in the camper… he told me that constantly being on the go gives him a touch of anxiety.
Things to be grateful for today: Gettysburg being so pet friendly!
