We woke up, eating breakfast at the hotel.  After loading up the car, we returned to the battlefield for about three more hours, starting where we left off just north of Little Round Top and continuing through the rest of the Union side.  We left about 3pm and drove an hour northeast to Elizabethtown to visit my cousin.  Mom was staying at a bed-and-breakfast, so she checked into her room, only to discover that the toilet would not flush and there was not a phone in her room.  Stephanie met us at the B&B, and we waited for Mom to get ahold of the housekeeper to remedy these two problems. 

After that, we headed into Lancaster and had dinner at Applebee's.  She works as a light operator at a Christian theater called Sight and Sound, and was able to get us free tickets.  Even though I am not Christian, I enjoy the stories and this theater is amazing - seven stories tall, with sets reaching four stories tall, advanced special effects, and the stage reaching around on both sides. They incorporate live animals of all types, flying tricks, and items hanging above the audience.  The show we saw was called "In the Beginning," and told the story of Creation, Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel.  Truly stupendous.  After the show, she took us backstage and explained how the sets and effects worked.  We then returned to the B&B and dropped off Mom, and then the two of us went to her apartment, where we got caught up and showed off pictures.

I didn't get any pictures of the theater, because I forgot to grab my camera.  The Gettysburg pictures from this day are being split into two posts, because of the number of them.
