PA Adventures cont.

Our stint in the Lehigh Valley continued with trips to the Crayola Factory in Easton, I got to to check out a Wegmans, Longwood Gardens and the Asa Parker house in Jim Thorpe, PA. We continued on to the Poconos for a conference for Adam's work for a few days. Finally, it was on to Philly for our last stop. We'd gathered lots of culinary recommendations from friends and we ended checking out a few of them. Our big fancy meal was Alma de Cuba, a Cuban restauarant my friends Corinna and Ian raved about. It was very yummy. We also visited the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall where we discovered that the founding fathers all sat in Windsor Chairs, the very same chairs that Adam's dad handcrafts. We ate cheesesteaks twice and explored the Reading Terminal Market. On our final day in Philly, we went to a pirate exhibit at the Franklin Institute which was very piratey and awesome. All in all, our grand adventures through the Eastern portion of PA was super fun and relaxing. However, it's been good to be home.
