W.O.W. Field Trip - Part 1

W.O.W. - Way Over Wonderful......Today we bypassed our usual Timeline Tuesday (American History), and took a field trip to beautiful North Eastern Pennsylvania.  My friend, Beth, invited us up for the day to her parents home for some fun!   It was her and her three children (our usual Timeline Tuesday crew) and myself and my three little ones...we ventured about an hour and 1/2 from NY to PA and I have to tell you that it was one of the best days of 2011 we have had yet! 

 I have to break this into a 3 part post just to squeeze it all in and do the field trip justice!

Part 1....the trip there and the property....


Here is the bridge that separated NY from PA...we stopped right over the bridge
for a look see and some rock skipping...

Coming up to the property we were guests of for the day....just wait
until you see this place!  


Nana and Pop Pop's home (parents of my friend Beth, Nana and Pop Pop to
the kids...)  Oh yes, it's breathtaking all the way around...


The view of the private lake they live on and the hundreds of acres they
own....this view is from their upper deck that I was standing on.


More of the front yard...

Please join me for part 2....

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
