PA roadtrip.

Thursday evening we were feeling spontaneous watching the Phillies recap from Game 1.  Erik told me that both the Flyers (hockey) and Phillies (baseball) were playing in Pittsburgh Saturday and that it was going to be quite a day.  Then, we decided we had to be there.  I have to admit... my state geography is a little rusty... I thought Pittsburgh was a little closer to "central PA" not practically Ohio.  


We started Saturday morning around 7am with a rental car (the ole Jeep guzzles way too much petro), Flyers and Phillies gear, and of course Dunken Doughnuts.  




Stop #1  Middletown, PA ... my old stomping ground during clinicals last year in Hershey
Stop #2  State College, PA for delicious diner food and to check out the Penn State Football spaceship




Stop #3  Clearfield, PA for an Amish quilt... couldn't pass it up




Stop #4  (and favorite!!!)  PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA the home of Punxsutawney Phil the world's most important groundhog







Stop #5  Pittsburgh, PA.  Really neat city, loved the downtown, walkable distances to the sports fields, and the rivers


Flyers:




Phillies:






Back on the road... this time the more direct route :)  Home around 4:30am... it's a good thing Easter was relaxing and we were able to have a 5pm bedtime.






MONDAY APRIL 9TH = OPENING DAY!




Clearly not much changed for me from Saturday to Monday


Phew... now it's time for a 2-day work week then chemo #3 on Thursday.


Love,
katy
