Sorry for the long silence. For being alone out here it seems like we always keep busy doing something. Currently we have my family out visiting us, and the city. Unfortunately I kept forgetting my camera so I am not 100% sure if I'll ever post pictures.

Stepping back in time a bit. Wes and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It started out at 4pm Wednesday when we boarded the train at Penn Station. Wes and I both really enjoyed riding Amtrak and recommend it to everyone. 15 hrs later, we arrived in Ohio. Thanksgiving day we enjoyed a wonderful feast with U. Mark & A. Diane, U. Kenneth & A. Carol, U. Wayne and A. Linda, Grandma Sinn, and all their families. I believe there was 19 of us in one house on Thursday and Friday. The food was wonderful and the company even better! We did a lot of talking, eating, and game playing. Jumping a head to Saturday, Mark & Diane and family took us out to an Amish Settlement close by. It really feels like you are taking a step back in time while amongst Amish. We were able to get little tour of a horse farm, did a little "Amish" shopping, and bought some farm fresh eggs. Our trip home began at 12:45am with a ride back to train station. 17hrs later we arrived at Penn Station.

We both really enjoyed our time in Ohio. Thank you A. Diane & U. Mark for hosting us!




Here are some pictures of our weekend.
