Antietam Battlefield

This is the battlefield of Antietam. My husband was always interested in the Civil War and recently found out his great-great grandfather fought in the battle of Antietam.

We went there this weekend and met distant family members, third cousins, not one of which would be here today if great, great-grandfather Allen McLane died in this battle.

Fire Island Gull

This gull is looking forward to the end of summer, so he can get the beach back for himself!
