Road Trip

David and I took a ten day road trip with his family. On Friday, David, Gloria, Chuck and myself headed to Huntsville to pick up Chuck's sister, Evelyn. From there we travled on to Arkansas to Aunt Donna and Uncle Harvey's. After talking for hours we finally said we needed to get in the bed since midnight was approaching. Five o'clock came early and we pulled out around seven that morning in the fifteen passenger van. We still had to pick up Uncle Vick so we were headed to Indiana. After picking up Uncle vick we made are way to Kentucky where we would spent the night. Again it was a late night. Let me just say during this trip it was close to midnight when we would turn in and five-ish when the alarm would go off. We finally made it to Pennsylvania to Aunt Edna's. Aunt Edna and her daughters Mary and June had a wonderful meal for us when we arrived. That was another thing we did a lot of was eating. Monday, we went to Hershey Park. We took the tour and bought lots of chocolate. Hershey Hotel was breath taking. It was the first hotel I have been to that had their own ice skating rink. The next day we went to see the Amish. I learned that the men that have facial hair are married and the clean shaven were single. Tuesday was wash day, they all had there clothes on the line. To watch them plow there fields with their horses was like going back in time. We ate at a Dutch smorgesboard, Shady Maple. I have to say they had everything you could imagine. They are known for their Shoo Fly Pie. We tried it, it tasted alot like molasses. There were things I had never even heard of, such as raisen pie then there was the rubarb pie that wasn't so good. After all that good eating we went shopping. The next day Mary took me shopping to one of my favorite stores, White House Black Market. She really knows fashion. I had the best time shopping with Mary and Dave. We joined the rest of the family at the casino and Aunt Edna's friend Bill, who treated us to lunch. I bummed $40 dollars off of Dave and hit for $200 so I gave Dave his money back and left with more than I came with. The next day we went to Gettsburg for a little history. Then it was time to head back and begin to drop off the family one by one. I have to say my first Sellers road trip was a blast. Thank you to the Sellers for a great time. I love you all!!!!
