Road Trip to Valley Forge and Spring City Pennsylvania

We made plans to stop by for a brief visit to Harry’s sister, Ani and her friend Joe en route to NYC so we drove north stopping en route for more Revolutionary War history at Valley Forge.  We arrived just in time to tour the home General Washington used as his headquarters for the winter’s encampment.  We drove through the park seeing several of the locations of various troop encampments, and redoubts - much as we’d seen just the day before at Yorktown.  We arrived at Ani and Joe’s around 6:30 pm, enjoyed a cocktail and some conversation poolside then headed to the rejuvenated former foundry town of Pheonixville for a nice dinner outside.

Guards' quarters were a bit less opulent
