    Youngstown OHIO

    2 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    Having this great spot to park up the RV at the private airfield is tremendous.
    Youngstown is where our little baby girl came to for her first college experience. Her athletic expertise got her a full ride scholarship for five years to get a bachelors degree and this is the place where it all happened Youngstown, once one of the richest cities in America behind Pittsburgh as a major player in the big steel industries through the 30s 40s and 50s.
    And as with all the major cities in the northern midwest of the US the roads are pretty atrocious as they get battered badly with the snow season and the scraper trucks and everything grading them all the time does a lot of damage to the roads, so potholes and rough surfaces are pretty common thing.

    At the famous Springfield Grille. PA

    2 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Well even the most upmarket of places can have fopars. Note the pic of the sign located under the rest room sign.
    I doubt any thought was put into its placement before it was put up. 😂 😂 😂
    And man…. Check out the size of the dessert options.    Baca lagi

    Factory Outlet Shopping

    3 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

    Well that’s it, I’m officially knackered. Came to a place called Grove City Factory Outlets and it’s a DFO type shopping centre that is massive.
    In measurement it’s 1.1 miles long, which converts to about 1.7 klm in length. We need some warmer clothes and it’s just across the border from Ohio in Pennsylvania. Everyone comes across the border to shop here as Pennsylvania has no sales tax on clothing so saves people a lot.Baca lagi

    State College PA

    4 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Finally arrived at State College for our daughters graduation for her Masters. Picked her up from her apartment and the attached video was her response. 😂
    Drove down through the campus area and such a beautiful city. So picturesque and tidy, probably one of the cleanest American cities we’ve seen.
    Tonight we’ll spend another Cracker Barrel stopover and having dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. Sat at the bar like locals and devoured a typical American bar dinner, pics attached.
    Now take note, it is extreme rare that I have to use wide angle to take a photo of a meal, but this seemed to take the whole bar.
    Head off in the morning to Belfonte for our KOA campsite.    Baca lagi

    Main St State College PA

    5 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Such a beautiful town is State College. Home of the Penn State University (PSU) and the Nittany Lions athletics.
    These pics are the town central campus area, such stunning gardens and so clean and tidy.
    This University campus was established in 1855 and is the highest ranked public institution outside of the Ivy League Universities, Harvard, Yale, Stanford etc. Famous football team that have made 48 Bowl finals in 116 years. Pretty amazing effort.
    And by the way, the football stadium shown here is larger than the MCG with a seating capacity of 106,479, 3rd largest stadium in the world.    Baca lagi

She has come so far it’s astounding with such dedication to her sport, achieving her Masters at the same time as coaching the diving team. Incredible, so proud.
    The full Graduation ceremony is on Sunday.    Baca lagi

    Rain Day

    6 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌧 11 °C

    Pretty sad for some of the Graduates to have such bad weather on their day of days. The ceremonies are conducted over 3 days with such a large University, culminating on Sunday with the Doctorates and Masters.
    We just had a great lunch with Bec’s athletes, and it was just incredible to see the incredible amount of respect they have for her. All very sad that she is moving on, saying she has been the best coach they have ever experienced.
    That’s our girl. 👧    Baca lagi

    7 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    Well it’s been a big day doing stuff around town and we caught the new movie Doctor Strange multi universe and great movie but now here back at campsite.

    Grad Ceremony

    8 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    What a wonderful experience for both us and Bec. The massive ceremony of graduation was performed over 3 days. Days 1 and 2 are all the bachelors graduations, and then day 3, Sunday, the Masters and Doctorates.
    This year was 1724 Masters Graduates, and 467 Doctorates.
    With a College of over 40,000 students, spread over 4 years of college means around 8-10,000 graduates each year across all degrees. No wonder it takes 3 days to celebrate.
    Enjoy the pics and videos.    Baca lagi

    Beautiful Sunny Day

    9 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Quite a different day today, clear blue skies as far as the eye can see, and we look around the campsite most of the RV‘s have left . Graduation has completed now so most have headed off home by the look of it.
    It probably won’t show up in the photos but the sky here is not as deep blue as we get back home, it’s more a washout hazy light blue quite different.    Baca lagi

    Hershey’s Chocolate World.

    10 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    No journey road trip through Pennsylvania is worth doing without stopping at the Hershey chocolate factory in Hershey Pennsylvania.

    Went in for a couple of hours checked out the making of the chocolate and did the chocolate tour ride through the facility. Unfortunately we couldn’t do the big tour bus trip up to the top of the hill where they built a private college, but we’ve got a photo of the college up there and check that out.Baca lagi

    Our stop for tonight is at a Harvest Hosts which are the ones that you stay for free, parking at the back, go buy some of the goodies at discounts and get to meet the locals. So our harvest host is the Battlefield Country Store. Lovely spot. The store is full of old fashioned sweets, locally made pickles, jams and good coffee!Baca lagi

    Creek Bar & Grill. NC

    11 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Well another Harvest Host venue, free stay, but suggested to spend some money. These sites are great, really get to meet the locals and enjoy the local cuisine.
    Having a laugh with the locals is just great and they love the Aussies so much. Every time I open my mouth they just stare and say they could listen to the accent all day long.
    We need something like this in AUS.
    Had a great catch up with Bec’s roomie from college that we haven’t seen in years. She’s like our 2nd daughter and seeing her again was fantastic.
    Bec’s first summer home she brought Shannon with her and she just fell in love with the quality Aussie food without all the sugar.    Baca lagi

    Savannah GA

    12 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Such an amazing place with so much American revolutionary history. Huge battles occurred here against the British in the 1700’s incurring massive losses to the Americans. Georgia was a place that originally banned slavery, Catholics and Lawyers when it was first established. They blamed all the imprisoned on lawyers that couldn’t do their job right, and they didn’t want Catholics thinking they would be loyal to the Spanish who were also their arch enemies. Back then the whole south east coast was run by the British and the Spanish fighting each other over territory.
    Took way too many photos of the architecture to post here but will add some soon.    Baca lagi

    Savannah Parks

    12 Mei 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Savannah was designed originally in square grid pattern with many courtyard type parks. Each park had a monument to a fallen comrade, American or French.
    There was a strong tie between the British and French in those days with the French being the catalyst for revolution, much as they were doing back home in France, so the French and American revolutions are very much entwined.
    Here are just some of the beautiful parks surrounded by the stately homes.    Baca lagi
