Frank and I were on a camping/hotel trip recently to PA.  We had quite a bit of rain, so like many other parts of the nation.  Managed to visit some Museums.  Enjoyed the Amish countryside in Lancaster County.  On the way home, our minivan incurred a need for a tow to a Chrysler dealer in upstate PA.  We were on our way north to the Corning NY area.  Stopped for gas and the van just plain would not start.  Gracious and compassionate tower took care of us.  Spent two days in a Hampton Inn in Mansfield, PA.  Mechanic could not replicate van malady and the van started up for them over 16 times!  Decided to head for home.  Left on May 13th and planned on being gone 2-3 weeks.  Wound up coming home on the 24th.  Gratefully, no problems.  

Saw the Liberty Bell in Philly.  Went to Constitution Museum  - found the latter disappointing.  Not much to see and lots of space in the building.  Plus, 2,000 elementary school kids from 58 schools were on field trips there that day.  They were out-of-control.  Frank voiced his opinion at the ticket counter and we were pleasantly met with a full refund.  Helped defer the 21.00 parking fee (4 hours) and part of lunch.  

Give me the countryside!!!!!

A heartfelt thanks to all who serve to protect us past, present and future.

Blessings,
