So, it’s five years later. Do you notice anything different? There’s the gray hair, of course. But how about the matching eyeglass loops? As for the things you can’t see – the prescriptions, the “readers”, a few extra pounds (maybe they are visible!) and an older, wiser and perhaps grumpier attitude. We haven’t had to get orthotics yet but maybe soon!
On The Road Day 1 Thursday September 28, Weehawken to Gettysburg PA
The first minor set back…we are stuck in a major road clog barely out of our beloved Jers across into PA. We sat in park for half an hour, finally turned off the engine, got out a snack and voila….the traffic starts to move!
Onto the Fork in the road – Centerport, PA
Roadside America – Indoor Miniature Village – Shartlesville, PA
This was a most extraordinary, astounding, surprising place. A man and his family worked on this for over 50 years; he died in 1963 so time stopped then. Trains, trolleys, mini people, hill and dale and buttons to push that activate motion. Fantastic! Oh, and an employee supervising everything with binoculars.
Ahhh….the finale..Kate Smith, Jesus, the Statue of Liberty and the American Flag. Enjoy!!………
Glenda prepares the lunch
Shoe House Road – Hallam, PA
Signs along the way…looks like an official DOT sign..what on earth does fresh oil and chips mean? And we’re back on the Lincoln Highway which runs from NYC (passing through Weehawken naturally) to San Fran . Cool!!
The day’s not over yet; more to come…
We managed to get 2 things in when we arrived in Gettysburg…the cyclorama a huge painting/diorama in the round of the battle, painted in 1883; and a visit to the National Military Cemetery where Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg address. Wow!!
The end of Day 1! wooooooooo
