I’ll skip over the boring details and just post some pictures of the rest of the trip to Pennsylvania. I could take forever to tell a story, as most know, and honestly, I’ve already been on another trip so this could all get so backlogged. Anyway, we spent the next day with DT’s Grammie and went to the most amazing grocery store over. Shady Maple is the kind of store that can actually cause you to have grocery store-envy. I didn’t even know that was a feeling.
The following day we drove up to Jersey to see my childhood best friend and to spend some time with her boyfriend and also, 
to um, GO SEE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AT GIANTS STADIUM! Yep. It was that great. 
Then on the way home, we stopped in Nazareth (cue the song) and went to the Martin Guitar factory. 
I don’t know if you can call it a factory since they are all handmade, but since the system is automated (automated hand made ?), I’m calling it a factory. No one was working. I say good for them for being off on Saturdays.
The next two days were spent grandmothering, 
visiting, and churching with said grandmothers. 
And then it was time to part. It never gets any easier. My husband’s grandmother that we stay with is the sweetest person and even after I had only known her for a couple of days, 
I cried when I left, so you can imagine the blubbering idiot I turn into at this point.
Homeward bound with a stop off in Gettysburg. It really is a beautiful place. I love that DT enjoys spontaneous and casual vacation ideas as much as I do. We were supposed to get my mom some dirt for her collection, but he went above and beyond and got her a rock. Then we forgot it in the rental car.
Beautiful scenery and a long drive with the best company I could ever have found.
