...otherwise known as Jim Thorpe. Went Tues thru Fri with Mom & Tree, and had a frickin' blast! We stayed at the Canalside Guest House, owned by the Mann family - great, great, great people! Rod, Jen, Shaun, Jimmy and the pets are so much fun to be around. We feel so at home when we're there, and that they are our friends, not just "inn keepers."
If you haven't visited this old town, it's really worth the 75 minute drive. The people are super friendly and there are so many fantastic restaurants and shops and cool/historic things to do. Got to hang out with someone I met about a month & a half ago and he really made the trip that much more enjoyable.
We hiked Glen Onoko one day (mom was a bad ass!) - absolutely beautiful, and paddled a raft 18 miles down the Lehigh River another day. We ate our faces off (omg the food is amazing there) and got to experience the local karaoke...quite an experience. Everyone we talked to (shop owners, waitstaff and managers, locals, river guides) was incredibly nice and interesting. One of my greatest pleasures in life is meeting new people.
My new petsitter is a keeper, too! She made everything so easy for me and really put my mind at ease by taking such great care of my boys.
One 'bad' part of our trip was when the call came yesterday morning that my brother in law, Roy, was being taken to the hospital. He collapsed at work and they're doing tests to find out what's wrong (say some prayers, will ya?).
So overall, a fabulous trip, and so far a fantastic weekend...I'm a lucky girl...
