Day 4--Conn., New Jersey, and Penn.

Holding Giant PEZ
Today was a long traveling day. We left this morning from Connecticut, and had to have Dunkin Doughnuts for breakfast. Then on our way to New Jersey, we saw a sign for the PEZ factory, so we again had to stop. The kids loved it! They had all the old PEZ dispensers, and the history, plus you could watch some things happening in the factory. This is the only PEZ factory in North America!

Then we met up with one of Wendy's friends, Jenny, near Princeton, New Jersey. They worked together at Alpine Camp over 20 years ago. We sat and talked over burgers and shakes. (We were going to stop at Princeton University, but we were running late on time--we chose PEZ over Princeton-don't figure.)

Valley Forge
Last, but not least, we went to Valley Forge. It was really interesting to learn and see what it was like. We thought it was going to be fairly small, since we always picture the starving men in bad conditions, but there were more than 6,000 men that stayed there, spread out all over. It rained off and on, but we made the best of it. (Luckily, we brought our famous rain ponchos from last year with us!)

Tomorrow is Philadelphia.
