Off for a jaunt
Around Pennsylvania, at the very least taking in Gettysburg & Valley Forge, the highlights of Philadelphia (Liberty Bell, Congressional Hall), and some Amish goodies in Lancaster County. Place names in PA are a funny mixture of highly familiar (Carlisle, Lancaster, York), Native American (Loyalsock, Susquehanna), and slightly comical Germanic (Mifflinberg). I'm sure my in-laws will get a kick out of me reading Maisie books to my niece and nephew in an Edinburgh accent, I hope it's enough offset my sophomoric giggling at every other town name, and insistence on taking photographs of road signs that tickle my fancy.

Sounds like fun. Enjoy your trip, stay safe, and post some pics of the road signs when you get back :)
J loves taking pictures of signs... I would photograph Loyalsock myself if I saw it. In this household we mostly have disloyalsocks which forsake their partners in the wash...
Have a lovely trip!
