Jim Thorpe!

 Mike made Jim Thorpe reservations last fall but we ended up postponing the reservation until this year.  We just felt too busy last October to scoot away but we did it this past week!  And it was marvelous!  We cleaned up the house from the youth group activity the night before and took the kids to school Monday morning! From there we drove off to Jim Thorpe like two little love birds ready for a date!!!!

We arrived with pretty views into this small, cute town!


Lunch was eaten at a small pizza shop then we grabbed tickets for the train and took a ride through gorgeous views!


There was an ice cream shop beside the train station and I had to try this Pickle Peanut Butter Sundae.  And it was tasty!  Mike was not sure about it at first but he kept bringing his spoon back for more!


The streets were full of little shops and we grabbed a hot apple cider to sip on as we strolled the town.


Then we hopped on board the trolly tour and was told all about the town!



On Monday the weather was drizzly, so after the two tours, we checked into our beautiful Inn and took a nap.  We had dinner reservations at a local Italian restaurant and the food was so good!  The streets were pretty at night too!


This was the view on the way to dinner!


We woke up to the sun shining brightly and it was gonna be a fun day to go biking, walk around and enjoy each other!



Breakfast first ....

... then biking.  The leaves were so pretty as we peddled up and down the paths!






We got back to town and had a second serving of ice cream!


It was time to check out of the Inn and head back home to the kids!  Something we said for the past years about visiting this little town is now a memory!  Loved it!


So many cute little shops along the way!



I count the orange cars.  Mike counts the green ones.  I won!



This little Christmas shop had the cutest tree ornaments!  Look what he paired together!





This town called Jim Thorpe was exactly what we thought it would be!  A getaway for just the two of us!  Beautiful views of Gods creation!  Good food!  And now we are ready to be back with the kids!

Jim Thorpe you are a beautiful place to go in the fall!
