On our last day of traveling, we were able to stop and stay with our friends Bill and Joan in Penn
sylvania. While there I met a new friend Philip, their grandson. We had a great time and I tried really hard not to get him into too much trouble :)We had a wonderful time visiting and for me a wonderful nights sleep! Ahhhh, I forgot what a quiet room sounds like!
So that morning as we were driving I said to my dad, " I wonder if we are near Punxsutawney Phil." You know....the famous Groundhog!!! You see, Groundhog day is one of my favorite holidays ( Feb. 2) because it is so absolutely ridiculous! How can you not laugh at it! Well my dad said he didn't think we were. Well a couple of hours later as I was gazing out the window I saw a sign for Punxsutawney PA!!!! I screamed with delight and realized it was only 20 miles away from our friends house! Well, this was just too convenient.
So as you have guessed, I was able to visit my friend Punxsutawney Phil in person. Quite amazing. But of course he was taking his morning nap and was not being very cooperative. Oh well. We managed to snap a few photos anyways.
It was a great way to end our road trip....visiting friends and a groundhog!
