Grissom woke Sara early Saturday morning with a light kiss on the cheek. "Time to get up honey, that planes not going to wait on us because your not a morning person."
Sara grinned and opened her eyes. "Okay, give me a minute." she said running a hand over her face a few times. She slowly got out of bed and dressed in the outfit she had laid out the night before, a pair of jeans, a red, lowcut, t-shirt, and a pair of white and green running shoes, all something she had bought a few days before, along with quite a few other outfits, just for the vacation. Sara then went to the bathroom to put on some make-up. When she finished, she went downstairs and smelled coffee brewing. She entered their kitchen to see Grissom hovering over the coffee maker.
"Good morning Mrs.Grissom" He said without turning his head "nice of you to join me."
Sara smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist, "Smells good, what did you do steal Greg's special coffee from him?"
"Oh you think your so funny, don't you." He said turning around and handing her a traveling mug full of the delicious brew. "C'mon we gotta go, I suggest you go get anything you didn't pack last night that you find you need to bring."
Sara furrowed her brow, "Wheres my other stuff?"
"In the car." He said with a smile, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
She grinned and took a sip of her coffee, heading upstairs again.
Grissom and Sara's plane landed in Pittsburg Pennsylvania, where they rented a car and drove the rest of the way to Gettysburg. Sara's eyes lit up at the sight of it. No city lights would bother them here. No sky scrapers or other tall buildings in sight.
Grissom pulled up in front of the visitors center. "I called ahead and booked a tour guide to show us around the battlefields and since you love history so much, explain how everything happened." he said handing her a brosure he had printed off the internet. "I also have us a room booked at the Eisenhower Center outside town." He said smiling at his accomplishments.
Sara gave him her famous gapped tooth grin. "Oh Gil, you are just...the most wonderful man alive." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm going to run in and confirm our reservation, I figured we would tour around tommorow, since its getting late." He got out of the car and went inside the building. Sara looked out her window and saw the cemetary across the street. She got out of the car herself to strech and walked across the street to look through the fence. The cemetary was set up like a memorial, with not only Civil War soldier buried, but one end had headstones for soldiers from other wars. There were statues dedicated to the soldiers of the Civil War, along with canons and plaques.
"Sara?" Grissom called from across the street. She turned around and smiled at him.
"Gil, the suns not quite down, can we walk through the cemetary?" she asked.
He smiled at her, "I don't see why not. It's not closed." He said walking across the street and taking her hand. They spent a half hour walking around and then went back to the car.
"You know, tommorow we can go see the cemetary down the road were Jenny Wade is buried." He said, expecting her to ask him who he was talking about.
"Oh, Jenny Wade, the girl killed by an enemy bullet while baking bread in her kitchen for Union soldiers." she said smiling at her own knowledge.
"Miss Sara, you are much smarter than I give you credit for." Grissom said.
The sun had long gone down when they reached the hotel. Grissom helped Sara with her bags and checked in. They went up to their room, and Sara for the second time that day was impressed. The room was large, with a queen size bed in the center of the room, a entertainment center against the wall near the end of the bed, a couch, desk, and a small kitchen esq area with a full mini bar, microwave, and coffee maker complete with three different kinds of coffee.
"Wow" was all she could manage to say.
"Yeah, wow." he said giving her a kiss. He sat their bags down as Sara took a seat on the bed. "It's comfortable." she said. He sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms.
"No city lights, no getting called into work, no little spiked haired annoynces.." he said. Sara laughed at his referal the Greg. "Just us."
"Your right, just us." She said giving him a devilish grin. He shook his head and pulled her into a kiss.
A/N: There really is a cemetary like that across from I believe its a visitors center and the Jenny Wade story is real too. I'm sorry if I'm off on a some of the info. I haven't been to Gettysburg since last May. Oh and the Eisenhower Center is a real hotel there too. Please review. I have more chapters I'll write b/c there are still two or three more cities I want them to visit.
