I drive past it several times a month, but the last (and first!) time I was actually at Valley Forge National Historical Park<\/a> was in 2005 with Michael<\/a>. I always say I’m going to go back, but it never happens.<\/p>\n

So last weekend I was coming back from Micro Center<\/a> having just picked up my new Canon and ran into a wall of traffic on 422<\/a>. A quick check of KYW<\/a>‘s traffic report explained there was an event near the Oaks<\/a> exit, backing up traffic for miles and causing delays of over an hour. So I hopped on 23<\/a> through the park and figured I’d get home via Phoenixville<\/a>. No go, traffic there too. Instead of sitting in traffic for an hour I popped into the park and decided to take a walk. Phew, you wouldn’t think it would take so much to get me to a park I actually do quite enjoy!<\/p>\n

It was chilly out, made worse by the wind and the thin jacket I was wearing and lack of gloves (in my other coat!) but once I got walking I warmed up a bit. I got lucky and my brand new camera came with the battery pack partially charged, so I could even try out my new camera.<\/p>\n

As usual at the park, I also saw some animals.<\/p>\n

It was a nice walk, I will have to take my bike out there sometime this spring for some riding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
