We decided to take a little "baby moon" trip since it would probably be our last vacation alone together for some time, and really our last vacation for a while anyway. I didn't want to fly and didn't want to drive more than three or four hours so we ended up going to a cabin in PA.Our cabin was about 45 minutes from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania (home of Punxutawney Phil, the infamous ground hog of ground hog's day) and since our trip was going to be over Ground Hog's day, we knew we must catch the ceremony. Apparently it's a huge party at Gobbler's Nobb where people drink and stay up all night waiting to hear if Phil sees his shadow or not. They get crowds of 30,000 people.
It was super cold (single digits) so we bundled up. We got a tiny bit lost so by the time we got there the shuttle buses had stopped running taking people to the top of the hill. We decided to walk (it was about two miles up hill). Normally two miles up hill walking for a girl who ran a half marathon only five months ago wouldn't be a big deal but I was so tired! Anyway we made up the hill finally and got to see Phil.
