The most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen were almost a nightly occurrence for us when we lived in Hanover. I was always amazed just how vibrant and intense the colors were. The locals didn’t seem to notice and when I mentioned it on several occasions I was always met with remarks like, “aren’t they like that everywhere?” Well… NO! It’s always interesting to see how much people take for granted when it is around them all the time. Every sunset for us was something to behold.
Philadelphia was another place we visited every now and then. The Liberty Bell and the US Mint were favorites, among others. And no trip to Philadelphia is complete without at least one Philly cheesesteak! YUM!
David and I both have ancestors who lived in the Philly area hundreds of years ago so it was fun to visit some of those towns. I am a descendant of the family of Daniel Boone so of course we visited the Boone homestead.
We never made it over to the western part of the state. We sure enjoyed living in Pennyslvania and found it to be the friendliest of all the places we have ever lived. The winters were just too intense for me though.
