Pennsylvania Road Trip
1C01.jpg
A road trip starts with a car...
1C02.jpg
The free upgrade meant a larger turn radius...
1C03.jpg
and a trunk with windows.
1C04.jpg
I drove about 1100 miles in 9 days.
1C05.jpg
We picked up the GPS in Scranton.
1C06.jpg
Interesting architecture at their little airport.
1C07.jpg
We encountered some interesting cars on the road.
1C08.jpg
Two in a row was too much of a coincidence.
1C09.jpg
Turns out the Street Rod Association was having a Jamboree.
2W01.jpg
Anyway, on Sunday we visited an indoor waterpark at the Split Rock Resort. These tubes...
2W02.jpg
are an awesome water ride, one completely dark!
2W03.jpg
There's also a big tube for rides for the entire family.
2W04.jpg
This is a general view of the entire indoor waterpark.
2W05.jpg
Max didn't keep his goggles on and got too much chlorine in his eyes.
2W06.jpg
His favorite thing was the artificial surfboarding.
2W07.jpg
Abe had a fun time, also.
2W08.jpg
His favorite thing was the giant wave pool.
2W09.jpg
I tried everything.
2W10.jpg
When I wanted to talk to the boys about lunch...
2W11.jpg
instead of coming to the edge, they walked around and I got soaked - with towel - by this giant bucket.
2W12.jpg
Abe got a souvenir - Bears in the hood, get it?
3D01.jpg
Monday - forgot to bring a camera to Dorney - here's Abe on his first major roller coaster - over 200 foot drop!
4H01.jpg
On Tuesday we went to Hersheypark.
4H01a.jpg
Max at Hershey a decade before - only ride he could go on was the carousel.
4H02.jpg
Max posing in front of the carousel a decade later!
4H02a.jpg
Max hanging out with the Reese's peanut butter cup guy.
4H03.jpg
This time, Abe posing with the same guy - peanut butter cups never age!
4H04.jpg
An old family story about taking this simple ride...
4H05.jpg
coming down into a splash...
4H06.jpg
that turned into a wall of water, completely soaking us!
4H07.jpg
Also rode this very very fast roller coaster.
4H08.jpg
But the ride I'll never ride again is this one.
4H09.jpg
Abe said he was game ... alone.
4H10.jpg
Here's a view from the side.
4H11.jpg
It starts forwards...
4H12.jpg
makes THREE upside-down loop-the-loops...
4H13.jpg
and then repeats it BACKWARDS!
4H14.jpg
Years ago I was nauseous for 1.2 hour, but Abe said he was fine!
4H15.jpg
Of course, what's an amusement park without bumper cars!
4H16.jpg
Max and Abe after.
4H17.jpg
I waited forever for a ride down these similar water tubes.
4H18.jpg
Max and Abe spent much time in this water extravaganza.
5P01.jpg
After 3 days of noisy, crowded amusement parks, on Wednesday I needed a break.
5P02.jpg
Lots of corn in Pennsylvania.
5P03.jpg
Chanced upon a Chinese food place for lunch (not very good).
5P04.jpg
And the most rural Internet cafe ever (to check my e-mail).
6A01.jpg
Thursday we were off to Amish country.
6A02.jpg
Typical Amish buggy (sans horse).
6A03.jpg
Not technically a buggy ride...
6A04.jpg

6A06.jpg
and in the barn.
6A07.jpg
A mule, I think.
6A08.jpg
A pony.
6A09.jpg
Goats.
6A10.jpg
Hello, goat!

Friday, Philadelphia (that's City Hall).
7Y02.jpg
Of course, must have an authentic...
7Y03.jpg
Philly cheesesteak and hoagie!
7Y04.jpg
A beautiful city, here's a sculpture garden with over-sized game pieces that caught Max's eye.

9I09.jpg
John Adams sat where?
9I10.jpg
Where the signings took place.
9I11.jpg
Using this ink well!!
9I12.jpg
Curious, while the Continental Congress met in one room, the Pennsylvania judiciary met next door.
9I13.jpg
And the Pennsylvania governor was upstairs!
9I14.jpg
The first location of the US Congress House of Representatives next door.
9I15.jpg
And the US Senate, where Washington gave power over to Adams.
V01.jpg
Saturday foggy morning, so stayed local - discovered Crystal Cave.
V02.jpg
With pretty stalagmites.
V03.jpg
More stalagmites.
V04.jpg
And stalactites.
V05.jpg
