My boyfriend is a history nerd too! He is always trying to drag me to reinactments and museums and make me read history books. It's cute until he finally talks me into doing one or more of these things again and I remember how much fun I didn't have last time.

I once had to go to a few days long work thang in Gettysburg. As a Philadelphian working with the state dept of ed at the time I was always sarcastically joking about the "glamorous" places we'd go on work trips ie. harrisburg, state college, gettysburg... But turns out, gettysburg rocks! I LOVED it. The battlefield is fascinating and beautiful. Even if you don't love history (which is generally pretty fascinating I think) there are some simply beautiful places to walk and this one awesome lookout... The second time I went to the battlefield (yes I went twice) it was just getting dark and as we looked out from the high point over the vista it was covered in twinkling fireflies. I am now convinced that it's a magical place. I kind of want to be proposed to in that exact spot someday.

And for those of you who don't like history OR nature, there's evidently tons of ghost activity there (was pretty spooky at night) and some kickass outlets nearby. I got two pairs of adidas for like 50 bucks and a replacement bowl for my pro kitchenaid mixer. Among lots of other kitchen stuff, that's where I def geek out.

I don't know much about this Civil War stuff, but consider me a brother-in-arms in defense of all things Phil Collins. I saw Genesis when I was 4 years old, and I brag about that shit almost daily.
