Can't Get Enough

We had so much fun showing off our favorite parts of PA with my mom and Gary that after they left we decided to explore a few places we haven't visited yet. We started our day by heading south to the Living Treasures Animal Park and Petting Zoo. I was really surprised at how many animals they had in a fairly small area and it was really cool to be so close to them.

Most of the animals you could feed by hand.

Braden thought it was really cool.

Some of the animals, like these camels and the bears, 

could be fed by sending food down the tube.

This was as close as Carter got to feeding the animals.

This was Braden's favorite animal. He even gave it a kiss before leaving the park.

After the animal park we drove over to the Flight 93 National Memorial. The memorial has not yet been competed and will open to the public the weekend of September 11th but we were able to view the memorial from this temporary site.

The field just beyond the white wall is where the plane crashed.

Along the fence line is this pipe where the flag from the US Capital

flew as part of a temporary memorial to the 40 people who died 

on Flight 93 just following the crash.

This sign was on the road just prior to turning towards the memorial.

On our way home we stopped by the McDonald's Big Mac Museum. Did you know that the Big Mac was invented in PA? I didn't. It was invented by Jim Delligatti back in 1967 at one of his now 18 restaurants and was such a great hit that it became part of the McDonald's menu less than a year later. We didn't order a Big Mac but we did treat ourselves to some ice-cream!
