Oct 11 – Sorry it’s been so long since the last posting. Since then we visited Val’s youngest sister, Melanie, and her family; spent a few days in Philadelphia and visited with a couple of old friends from Gary’s graduate school days. The visits with friends and family were great.
Philadelphia is a very large and busy city. We tried to visit a couple of restaurants listed in Guy Fieri’s book: one was closed and the other one we were disappointed in: so much for that. We took a day and toured the historic downtown section of the city; Liberty Bell, Independence and Constitution Halls and other buildings. It was really something to be in the same room where, 200 years ago, our founding fathers discussed and created the foundation of our country.
We also found out that Betsy Ross was married three times; they all ended in the death of the husband. Nothing suspicious mind you; a war; an accident at sea and old age were the causes.
We’re now in Manassas, Virginia visiting Gary and Val’s oldest daughter, Loreann. We plan on staying here a couple of weeks and letting some of the “road” wear off.
