En route to Canada,
we stopped in upstate Pennsylvania for a night.
The town of Wellsboro did not disappoint.
(Well, it disappointed our 14yr old son
who wanted a more modern adventure.)

It is very quaint,
with a resurgence thanks to the natural gas industry.
I loved the charming, well maintained homes.
I am a sucker for a cute house.
And this one was for sale.
(To which the son said,
"I am not living here.")

So we took a look! Of course!
Think...'Retirement'
(And we said to the son,
"We have no intention of having you live with us when we retire.")

And notice the natural gas lamps -
they line the streets!
Adorable.
(And the son said, "Good, can we go yet?")
Wellsboro has a lot of what we are looking for in retirement:
Natural beauty, non-urban, outdoor attractions, small town.
It is just a few years too soon to actually retire.
(A certain son will have college tuition in a few years.)
But I'm sure we'll return,
even if just to get a better look at that canyon!
(We will not bring the son when we return.
Cause we were biking in that beautiful canyon
and he refused to go any further,
even with his new bike.
That's why I call him, "Grumble-stiltskin.")
