All the pictures are from New Hope, Pennsylvania in Bucks County. What's with all the buzzards? There was a huge flock of them. Oooooooooohhhhhoooooo!!!!!!
We left beautiful Hyde Park this morning as a thick fog was rolling in. It never got too bad but was overcast most of the day until we got to Philadelphia. We drove on the interstates to Bucks County where we stopped in the little arty community of New Hope. The stone buildings date from the 1800's when there was a mill and this was an important place on the Deleware River. Wandered in and out of the shops, did a bit of buying, had lunch and went on down the road.
We passed the spot where Washington crossed the Deleware River, and I swear I could see muskets peeking out from behind the trees along the road. It really looked like a movie to me! It is easy to let your imagination run wild.
Got to the Holiday Inn smack dab in the middle of the historic district. Did a little walk around the Liberty Bell and Constitution Hall and scoped out a plan for tomorrow. Thought we might take a tour but the things we want to see are all within walking distance, so we are tying our shoe laces tightly tomorrow and heading off early. Tickets for Constitution Hall are free but they start giving them out at 8:30 tomorrow morning and they go fast. Would hate to miss out so we plan to be in line early. Many new things have been built in the area since I was here in 1990. Can hardly wait.
After our gastinomical gut-busting of yesterday we had room service tonight and what a treat to just kick back. Judi and I even worked in a little pre dinner nap. Off to bed as we want to be fresh for Thomas, Ben, George, and all the other guys as well as Betsy!
Love, The Gotta Go Girls
