We arrived safe-and-sound in Central Pennsylvania yesterday evening at my parents’ home! The drive yesterday was LONG, but worth the effort and of course it was fun to drive through the mountains – one of my favorite places to drive is in Penna.

We left Mukwonago on Wednesday afternoon and arrived at my in-laws late that evening. We got a few hours of restful sleep before hitting the road Thursday morning and are enjoying ourselves here in Penna. Today was a day full of sightseeing. We visited quite a few markets and other shops that Mom and Dad frequent and I’ve already consumed two amazing hoagies since arriving here last night! What a treat!

Tonight’s agenda includes lots of FIRE. A bonfire and the igniting of those two bags of fireworks I picked up in Indiana during Yesterday’s trip! I can’t wait.

Also tonight we’re having homemade tacos with Bob & Lisa Smith AND my Uncle David, Aunt Bea (Sheets) are coming up from the Baltimore/Washington DC area along with my cousin Bethany and her husband Joel (whom we haven’t yet met). We’ll have a house-full and will have a blast enjoying this side of the family that we don’t get to spend a lot of time with usually!

Some pictures from the trip so far are here. Pictures include our quick visit with Aunt Sher at the Oasis Travel Stop in Chicago and a quick pee-break at the French’s house in Warsaw!

Hopefully I’ll find the ability to update again before we head out for the camp on Monday morning!
