Two of Three

Brigg and Havalah treated us to a mid-week tour of central Pennsylvania.  Our first stop was Punxsutawney PA - home of the most famous weather rodent alive.  

The four of us at Gobbler's Knob

Hava trying out to take Phil's place for next February!!  She's sure a lot cuter :)

Brigg positioned his father as Phil 


Next Stop - Gettysburg

In front of the National Museum - this was a very sad and sobering day for us.  We had all read a book and watched a movie about the battle at Gettysburg so this city was quite familiar to us.  Our first few hours we experienced great weather - the afternoon rain seemed to confirm the sadness of these events.

Famous rock walls are everywhere in town.

Marcie with President Lincoln.

The four of us on top of one of the many lookouts in Gettysburg.

We stayed a couple of nights in the capital city of PA - Harrisburg.  The Capitol grounds were beautiful.  The marble stairs, the light fixtures, old buildings, fountains, etc. were all marvelous.

The last stop on our tour together was Hershey PA and the famous chocolate factory.  Here we are at the end of a very informative ride, which taught us all about chocolate making, including instruction from 3 singing cows!  (not pictured!!!)

Looks like you 4 had a blast! Harrisburg (sp?) looks beautiful. I think my favorite is the one with you on the roller-coaster looking ride at Hershey & you two holding the giant chocolate bar-that would be so cool to eat that :)
