More Wandering

While we were out all the way to the Berlin Flea Market, we stopped in a few more places in the area. So of course we got pictures to share.

Before we got to the Flea Market, we found a hobby store to check out. You know the type; with all of the model train stuff and fancy car things. Here's a train making the rounds.

More Fleas

One more batch of pictures from the Berlin Flea market.

The main building is basically two long corridors, so at the end we went outside to see what the tables in the parking lot were full of. This is more of the random "real" flea market experience.

Flea Market Day

It's been a while since we've been down to the Berlin Farmer's Market, which is a flea market. I guess they can't change the sign. It was a boring Saturday so let's go see if we can check out some fun stuff.

It was a HOT day. Fortunately this is mostly indoors in this incredibly long building. We weren't looking for anything in particular. Maybe something there would find us? That's not a teaser, we actually didn't find anything. But it's always nice to look around.

Them's the Brakes

The squeeking was a pretty intense notice that the brakes on the car were in need of replacing. Also so other random pictures to share

Trying to get a picture peeking at the tiny amount of pad left on the um, brake pads. It was starting to sound like elephants every time we stopped the car. Okay not really that bad but it's fun to exaggerate.

Butterscotch Quest

Here's yet another bunch of interesting pictures to enjoy.

We wanted to buy some more Butterscotch Syrup for our FBI nights, that's "Full Bowl of Ice cream." We went to like 5 different places, plenty of caramel, nobody had butterscotch. It turned into a quest and we were determined that someplace somewhere would have it. When we finally found some, they had two bottles. We paused for a moment to possibly leave one, considering we had just been on such a quest, would the next person have to look further? But really that's an imaginary scenario, and what pirate is going to leave half the treasure behind?

Bike Blocked

Back with some more bike trip pictures.

A recent storm blew over that tree onto the sidewalk. Gotta walk around it. This spot is at the bottom of the ramp where we pick up a bunch of speed and coast for a good while, so that says no to that. If you zoom in, you can see the pink bee Hatchimal we left on that lamp post. It's been there for at least a month already.

Scoops Ahoy

Did you see the 3rd season of Stranger Things? There's a fictional ice cream shop called Scoops Ahoy that some of the kids work at. And you can go to Baskin Robbins for real-life treats from the show. My friend was plenty excited since it was such a fun bit on the show.

Of course, we HAD to get a USS Butterscotch. They were out of bananas for the hull, but it's got the waffle cone sails. If I even have to say it, it was amazing. I'll give a special shout-out to our girl from the show because you can't spell "America" without "Erica!" I'll take one more moment to mention that on the show they point out Erica is a My Little Pony Nerd.

Hot Biking

Looks like there's a bunch of pictures in the camera from our bike trips.

This is a fairly condescending sign, you think? Does it imply YOU do NOT "Heart" your children? Because they certainly do. Do you think they all had a meeting to make sure they all [heart] their children? Maybe some family was like "Well not really but you can still put up the sign if you want." At least they ask with a Please.

My One Fan

Another bunch of random pictures. I hope there's at least a few people who look forward to this fun nonsense.

During the hottest week of the year, the Air Conditioning in our car stopped working. After a small investigation, smacking the fan would get it working again, but even that stopped working after a few times. Looks like the fan was blown. Which blows.

Snow Delay

I took a bunch of snow pictures last Winter that I purposefully saved in order to post them during the summer.

Did you ever think about taking a snowy day and putting it in a bottle somehow, to open it up during the hot summer? I guess that's what I was trying to do here. Is it working? Did someone say the bottle is in Australia this time of year?

Hot Day of Vacationing

One last bunch of pictures for my Friend's visiting Parent's trip. We're still in New Hope if you missed the last bunch of pictures. And it's like 100 degrees outside.

There's a more nature-style trail this way along the river, but we chose to go down the street with the shops to stop in. While this trail does have a bunch of shade, it was mega-hot that day and we would need air conditioned shops instead.

New Hope Hotness

The next day we drove our visitors to Lambertville for the bridge-walk over to New Hope. The recent storm blew in a massive heat wave. It was, without exaggerating, 100 degrees outside. We knew it was going to be a little rough to walk around, but there are plenty of cool shops to pop in to. Both cool with air conditioning, and cool with shopping.

Check out this awesome parking spot! It's the closest you can get to the bridge, right on the corner. We've been here lots of times, but if you don't know, This side of the bridge is New Jersey and over there is Pennsylvania.
