Vacation: Day 1

Elise and I decided to take a trip to the east coast to visit a friend and see the countryside. After leaving Jacob in the welcoming arms of his grandparents, we departed MSP and flew to Newark, seeing Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty during the landing. Arriving without a hitch, we rented a car and drove west to Pennsylvania. We stopped in White House Station, NJ for a fantastic dinner at Reddington’s Diner where a number of folks were speaking Italian. From there we traveled on to Nazareth, PA for an impromptu trip to the Martin Guitar factory. There were no more tours for the day, but we took a peek at the shop, toured the museum, and tested out a few guitars. We were able to see the history of the guitars as well as the guitars of Johnny Cash, Paul Simon, and others. We drove onward and stopped for the night in Hamburg to prepare for our brewery tour tomorrow. Best wishes from PA!
