One of the main reasons we want to take this trip is the fact that we have seen so very little of our country. Generally speaking, we find nearly everything we want to do in a very small radius of our beloved home town. We're an easy drive away from New York City and Philadelphia. We have festivals, like today's harvest festival in our historic downtown, pictured above. We have amusement parks. We're a couple of hours from the Atlantic. We have woods, and mountains. We can even manage a day trip of Washington, D.C. If we want to get really adventurous, we head south or north. South, of course, will bring us eventually to our two favorite vacation destinations - the Outer Banks or Disney World. North takes us to the banks of the St. Lawrence and Grandma's house. To someone else, this may not seem very exciting, but we find plenty to enjoy, even in our limited travel circle.
But Scott has never been farther west than Chicago. I've never been farther west than Wisconsin. The kids? Remember when we went to Cleveland in August? Yup.
