Hello, duckies! Here I am sitting next to someone else's Christmas tree in someone else's living room. In a long-sleeved t-shirt. I KNOW. Heat! It's a good time.
We drove along a very interesting road yesterday on our way here. We were on US Route 15, which runs right along the Susquehanna River. It's a beautiful river with these really awesome old cabins up on pilings on the banks of the river. But that was only on one side of the road. The other side was lined with multiple adult entertainment venues (of the triple X variety), motels you couldn't pay me to stay in, and "Indian trading posts." And let's not forget the meth heads dumpster diving outside those motels.
It was kind of amazing.
Also amazing was the amount of heavy machinery being used on some kind of complicated construction project on the Beltway. The last 20 minutes or so of the trip were spent pointing out cranes and diggers and rollers and other machines. It was fun.
And now here we are. There was something called a meat bomb for dinner last night--quite good, despite the alarming name--and monkey bread this morning. The monkey bread pretty much made my holiday. And now we have three days of merriment to look forward to.
Merry Christmas Eve, poppets. May your day be merry and bright.
Yes, I know that section of Rt. 15 well! It is getting better, though, with the advent of the new interstate they are building, which bypasses many of the little "hole in the road" towns. You mentioned all the sights along the way. I am too busy on that 2-lane section with it's many curves to be able to notice much of the view! There used to be a neat candle shop (can't remember the town it was in), but not too far over the Pennsylvania border.
