My Summer Vacation. . . . part one

Well, I have no idea where June went. . . . except that we were doing a bit of traveling.


First up was Altoona, PA. . . . .  .


I was able to meet up with one of my Facebook quilting buddies. . . unfortunately we only got to see each other for breakfast on one day. . . . she is one busy lady between work and her theatre volunteering.


We did a bit of sightseeing. . . . .


The Horseshoe Curve

It was wild to watch the trains go by. . . . some of them were so long that they went from one side of the curve to the other!


It was a beautiful day and even though I am not a train fan I enjoyed myself.


Here is the link to the Wikipedia info:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_Curve_(Pennsylvania)


We went to a couple of quilt shops:


Connie's Collectibles. . . .she is located in a house in Duncansville and has a very nice collection of fabrics.


and


Mary Koval's quilt shop. . . .her shop is in Bedford, PA and has hosted Bonnie Hunter workshops for several years.


Other than that we went to flea markets, antique shops and just rambled around.  We did a lot of train stuff (Mr. Books was happy).


Altoona was the furthest west that we have been camping. . . .and it was the first time either of us had been there so we had a great time.


I'll save the next part of June wait for another post.




In peace and pieces,


Sherry
