Drive Me Wild

On Saturday night John and I took the train into Philadelphia for his best friend Rocco's 29th birthday dinner...

We thought this was an AWESOME idea as we now live just blocks from the train station and it's only a 45 min. ride. Plus, we can both have a few drinks with dinner and relax. This, however, turned out to be a TERRIBLE idea when the main course wasn't even served until 11:00 pm, the same time we had to leave to catch the last train home. I then became tired and miserable when a $60 cab ride would be inevitable. 

When Sunday rolled around we both didn't want to get up or do any house projects liked planned. That's when we remembered that John had received a gift card to Cabela's, an outdoor super store, and we decided to take the hour drive up to Hamburg, PA to check it out.

We have both never been there and I can kind of see why. It's like a hunter's dream and we all know how I feel about deer! 

They were stuffed and EVERYWHERE. John was dying as I shuttered with every step. Thankfully, there were so many other stuffed animals to gawk at that I could avert my eyes some of the time. Not to mention, games!


We did ultimately find a cool fire pit for the backyard so it was definitely worth the trip


and most importantly, it got us out of the house for a few hours. When John suggested in the car ride home that we maybe plan a camping trip I burst into laughter. Yeah! We'll take Blue Lightning!  Um, no. Shopping at an outdoor store is about as far as I go. Or maybe we can simply light up the fire pit, roast marshmallows and remember the trip to Cabela's.

Ugh, a $60 cab ride? I feel your pain. I loathe paying for cabs.

Jackie, did Cabela's remind you of geckos? ha! That took alot of courage for you to go into a place like that, even though the animals are stuffed! John owes you one! It's sounds kind of like a zoo, only the animals are dead!

Love ya, Mom
