  • The White House

    June 22, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Well, our request for a tour of the White House was denied but we at least got to see the outside. It is an interesting atmosphere around the White House. People are having fun but you can see all of the secret service men around, including the snipers on the roofs of the buildings and realize how important of a place it is. But of course then there was the "Silver Secret Service" guy!Read more

  • Donna's House

    June 22, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    The house we stayed in was great! Donna was a fantastic host and the girls all loved everything about the house. Especially the cats, and the clawfoot tub, and the fantastic shower. The kitchen was huge with a table that fit all of us together and throughout the house there were things that reflected Donna's style and the personality of the house.Read more

  • The drive home!

    June 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    The final days. Bittersweet. Everyone was anxious to get home, but at the same time sad that the trip was over. The drive home had a couple of near misses on the highways, a couple more good meals and on the last leg of the trip I have to admit we had to enlist the help of the girls, especially Kelly, to help us stay alert and awake to make it the rest of the way. The girls finally got to eat at Steak N Shake!Read more

  • In route entertainment

    June 24, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    So in my search before the trip for things to do during the long drive I came across these travel scavenger hunt games. They were a definite hit with the girls and provided much entertainment for all of us! Random quotes and observations;
    Live chickens are hard to find while driving down the highway.
    What is a triangle?
    What is an airstream trailer?
    Does it have to be a whole tire?
    Looking for pickers & bobbers, anyone see any pickers or bobbers?
    What does a Jeep look like? (from the person who it turned out has 2 Jeeps at home)
    MUCH discussion about what constitutes a "picnic table".
    There are no water towers in the eastern part of the country.
    "I think birds are extinct in Pennsylvania".
