Jim Thorpe, PA

We spent a weather-perfect day in Jim Thorpe, PA.  (hey, that rhymes!)

I did not want to go, but the boss said we'd have fun.  He was right.  He always knows when I need that little nudge.

Jim Thorpe is a small town about an hour away from our house.  The area is popular for white water rafting, hiking, and biking... I assume for mountain biking and also motorcycling, because there are always droves of motorcycles when we go there.

The area used to be a railroad and coal shipping center.  We thought we'd catch a ride on the train, but it wasn't running today.  It made for good pictures though.

 

  

We roamed the streets looking for an old jail, but when we found it, it was closed.  We still managed to find cool things though.

 

 

 

Of course the kids found a place that sold ice cream.  It was the most quaint little store ever!  

Rainbows End, Jim Thorpe, PA

It was filled from top to bottom with vintage things, like old fashion candies and collector's items.  So cute.  And of course, there was ice cream.

 

We ended the afternoon at this pretty spot. 

 

 

 

You gotta love spending the day in Small Town, USA.  (hey, I did it again!)
