Pennsylvania visit 2017 - Doing all the things!

In 2017 we were in PA for all the Halloween fun! Really it was one of the busiest visits to PA we have had! We went on the Lancaster Ghost Tour on Halloween which I loved! Fulton Opera House is supposed to be super haunted

As well as lots of other places around the city. We heard some fun ghost stories

While we were there Raymond asked "Where are the covered bridges?" So after shopping one day we drove by one so he could see it

So much fun

One day we went to the Corn Maze!

At the start - still wearing our jackets as we hadn't warmed up yet. It is surprisingly warm in the maze

Plotting and planning

Last year was Charlotte's Web themed

And we did it! We had the fastest time that day when we went through

We found some Halloween crackers at the thrift store and I love how intense I look about them!

We also did an escape room! My first one!

I know it is a bad photo, but the only one I have of the 5 of us pre-scape. With my mom, sister, mom's friend, and us

We were tasked with finding this flag - and we did it! I really enjoyed this! Though it was good Raymond was with us as for one of the tasks we had to slingshot beanbags through a window into the second room and hit something on the other side of the room...and Raymond was the only one who could make it across the room!

We also went to trivia one night - I like the trivia in Lancaster as it is one question at a time and all individual answers so if you don't agree with your team you can write what you want. Then all the correct answers go in a box to win candy periodically! Win!

We also got to visit my cousin Paula and her kids. With all of that plus all the shopping I had to do it was a very busy week! But really nice to get to spend time with my mom and sister and do all the things!

Fall is here!

So not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. On our anniversary we were going to go on the boat tour of Berlin, but it was rainy and overcast so we decided to wait for a nice sunny day to do that. We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install ...
