More Fun with Grandpa

We visited the Cornwall Furnace, in the little town of Cornwall which is about 20 mins from my dad's house. I didn't take any photos of the furnace because i was too busy chasing Una and making sure she didn't fall thru the floors or down stairs. It was really amazing though. the whole little town was built around the industry and has amazing stone work because the founder was actually a stone mason and not very good at Iron Ore. Here's a link with some great photos if you want more info:


We also went to Mount Gretna, because it was close by, and saw the little town and the lake. I love this place because it's as if you go back in time. Also, it feels like i just stepped into a scene of the movie Dirty Dancing. Not sure why i didn't spend more time here growing up, but next summer we'll have to take Una for sure. 


We also took ted on a hike to Governer Dick. It's an easy one mile walk through the forest to a tower that gives you a nice view of the countryside. I used to hike it as a kid and teenager. The McCorkles, my nanny's family, made it a tradition at their reunions each year.

And, even tho una really wanted to crawl up 10 sets of ladder rungs, we didn't let her, but instead sent her daddy to the top for a look-see.
