To celebrate Jen’s birthday, we visited Washington Crossing Historic Park, New Hope and Newtown, PA, and rode a restored train through the southeast Pennsylvania countryside.
It was the first time we’d been there and we enjoyed the trip immensely. The story of Washington’s crossing of the Delaware with thousands of cold, sick, discouraged soldiers left us with a deeper appreciation of the sacrifices they made to protect freedoms that we and our leaders treat all too casually now. I hope that we can regain our respect for what they provided for us. It is all too easily lost.
New Hope and Newtown were charming towns with great restaurants, art galleries, shops, and friendly people.
The colors we were hoping to see in the fall foliage were a little washed out, but the train ride was still fun and it was a great way to end the trip.
