Place: Millersville, PA 59/73
Main activity: Fri - Longwood Gardens!, South Market
Notes: Got up and took care of the dogs, Michelle was awake before they started making much noise. Slow-ish morning and then we decided on a quick Costco trip before we headed to Longwood Gardens (an hour away). Costco was jam-packed with lines way out just waiting to get in at open. We didn't spend too much time there and didn't find quite a bit. On then to Longwood, arrived ~1145a, entered about noon. Very cool, beautiful flowers, plants, the big pink/white hanging balls in the Conservatory were some of my faves. Got sooo many great pics - was hard to choose one. By 2p, we were pretty much done and tired so headed back. Were looking for an organic grocery store to get some basil and arugula to make w/ our homemade pizzas - was a bit further back into Lancaster and ended up right at South Market and decided to check it out. Parking didn't go great and we finally ended up in a garage nearby. Found a huge (1 pound) soft hot pretzel w/ great mustard and dipping cheese and shared an NA beer to go with. By the time we left there, we knew we wouldn't do the pizzas and were too tired to hit the market so saved that and headed back to the house. Quite warm and swarms of golfers everywhere - fed and walked the dogs (was ~430p) and then took a shower and got into sweats. We had some snacks and a bit later decided to watch a movie, picked one out on Hulu and shared a juicy pear. Warmed up some of the chuck roast & veggies then w/ Michelle's flatbread - so good! Later hot a hot beverage of Dandy mix w/ Ryze chicory. Stopped a lot of times to get up and doing things in the kitchen and finally stopped the movie ~840p, took the dogs out and put them to bed and then we went our rooms to wind down for the night. Quite tired, skin did mostly ok thru the day and with wearing real clothes.
