Trip to Hershey, PA

We will be heading out on Monday for Hershey, PA for the car show and swap meet. This will be a two week trip. We will be staying at Lancaster rather than Hershey which should give us a better feeling of normalcy, rather than staying amidst all of the auto nuts. 

Joyce had been all excited about the three day swap meet until I reminded her that it was just auto parts, and not a general flea market. Now she seems a lot less excited about it, although we did plan to spend a day in the antique shop area which we discovered last time we were in Lancaster. As it turns out, we will probably cut the swap meet to two days and leave a day early.

We had planned to visit with Angela, who lives in Philadelphia, and Erica, who lives in Watertown, NY, on the assumption that Erica would be visiting Angela during the weekend. Just discovered differently, but Erica suggested that if we could stop in Syracuse on the way to Niagara Falls that she could meet us there. So we have altered our plans slightly and will leave a day early to spend a little time in the Syracuse area on the way to Canada.

From Syracuse we will head to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls and stay at a KOA near there for a couple of days. Then we will be driving through Canada to the Detroit area. If we have the time we might drive through Ridgetown, Ontario, where William Clark Newman took his family when they left New York City in 1902.

After a couple of days in Detroit, we will be heading home so that we can prepare for a trip in November to North Carolina, via Bedford, Virginia.
