First we (Cousin and I, and two of her children Meredith and Bryant) decided to visit Penn's Cave, a drive not far. We were able to travel through the underground cave in a boat while the guide was pointing out the stalagmites and stalagtites and all the intriguing geological formations and history. I also got to enjoy the scenary around the area and especially enjoyed seeing things like a big and quite old round barn.
In the afternoon, cousin and I rode bikes into town. The trail was actually a rail-trail through the woods and once in town we went across the Penn State campus to a yummy ice cream store. We then biked to a nearby arboretum and then most of the way back home (Cousin's husband Steve came to get us since the hills on the way home are considered deadly (!!)
Then we headed off to a swim meet where Cousin's oldest son is a coach and the other two swim for the Park Forest Bullfrogs (I think that's right - lots of green tie-dye and frogs everywhere!) It was fun and the kids did great.
Today, which is really the next day, Friday, Cousin headed off to work (she is an M.D.) and I am catching up on such things as blogging before heading to the bus station this afternoon to head back to PHL. From there, I'll catch a train to the airport, pick up a rental car and head north to Flemington, NJ (which hopefully I will find in the dwindling light), where I will be staying with Uncle George and Aunt Jean. I talked to Uncle George last night and he is excited I am coming to see them. yeah.
