From Texas to Pennsylvania and back by different route.
Plenty of time to go off road and visit non touristy resale/junk/antique stores.
I like to repurpose my finds into things like lighting and furniture slipcovers and would love some suggestions as to where these little pearls of the junker world could be found.
Suggestions re cafes and other down scale (but clean and delish) lunch stops and coffee shops with a great bakery (natch /img/vbsmilies/smilies/wink.gif) are def welcome as well.
Don't have the routes laid out yet but our destination is Gettysburg (hotel booked for 5 days as our base of ops) as the fisherman is a huge battle theory buff and this is on his bucket list.
I will go nuts if I have to do Civil War museums and battlefields all day long and touristy is ok to a point , but I need a few obscure destinations where I can get my hands dirty sifting thru some barns or side of the road eyesores (if any still exist).
Yes I am up to date on my Tetanus shots lol.
Thanks for reading and TIA for any tips and suggestions you might have.
