Important Visitors

Saturday 18th February We have all been excitedly looking forward to this weekend and the awaited arrival of G&G from UK for a flying visit - it was great to see you when we got home from swimming and we are looking forward to showing you all around this weekend. Saturday was another one of those bright, crisp and clear winter days (oh how we will not tire of those) so we decided to head out for a walk and investigate another of our local State parks.  The chosen venue was Marsh Creek (http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/marshcreek/) and it proved to a lovely park and a peaceful reservoir.  We set off from an unlikely looking spot on the banks of the reservoir but enjoyed a very pleasant walk around the shores.  We found a small beach where we could all perch on a tree branch for our picnic lunch and then it was on around to the damn itself - it is very impressive .  On the way back we walked along the shore and found lots of interesting shells - the is clearly lots of interesting wild-life there but a bit too cold for much of it to be seen today.  It also looks as though there is boating and swimming to be had there in the summer too so we shall look forward to returning. And that isn't even the best bit ............ we we back in time for the ladies to scoot off to King of Prussia (http://www.simon.com/mall/landing/845/) the US's largest indoor shopping Mall (think Bluewater and then the rest) , for a bit of retail therapy and to pick up a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake for supper.
