Recently, we have made our way along the Eastern Seaboard and the Atlantic Intracostal Waterway, enjoying the people, places, and sights. We visited the old costal settlements in Northeast Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. We had a terrific week in Washington DC, sightseeing and enjoying the spring weather.
A visit to Baltimore and Northeast Maryland provided us with a historic tour and some famous Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes.
Philadelphia was like going back to 1776 and the birth of our country. Of course, we visited the Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, and all the historical monuments. At Benjamin Franklin’s gravesite, people annually toss tons pennies on the grave. I don’t quite get the correlation with “A penny saved is a penny earned”!
So much history AND we had those celebrated Philly Cheese steak Sandwiches for lunch on two occasions.
Leaving Philadelphia, we traveled west to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the heart of Amish country, for a fascinating visit, joining friends from Texas. We enjoyed the Amish country and made a point of better understanding the Amish and Mennonite lifestyle. An interesting observation was the horse and carriage barn on the WalMart parking lot. Yes, WalMart is a popular shopping venue for the Amish!
Today, we’re heading over to Connecticut for a visit with Terry’s uncle and family. Last nights RV campsite was on the Delaware River at the Pennsylvania/New York, state line. After heavy rains last Thursday, the river is running very fast/high.
We have not quit the boat hunt, just taking a side-trip! Bob
