The New Civic and Our Outing

My Better Half (MBH) just purchased a new Honda Civic, a more practical car for the narrower streets of Philadelphia than his old car. Of course, we had to take the new chariot on a road trip, so we drove to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which straddles northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The visitor center showed a panoramic view from the summit of Mount Tammany, so we had to hike the two and one-half mile (about 4 Km) trail, which climbs 1,200 feet. It has a great view from the sumit, but of course we forgot our cameras. Here is a view that I found on the internet:

Of course, we had to reward ourselves with ice cream after the hike! :-)

Our First Phillies Game

My Better Half (MBF) and I attended our first Phillies game during the week. The ballpark had gorgeous views of the downtown, good food (Italian sausage on buns), good beer (Yuengling), and our seats had a good view of the game, from the rafters behind the home plate.

Unfortunately, the Phillies lost to the Nationals.
