Travel Log Day 14: The End

And I am once again back home in Ohio. The trip back to Pittsburgh was uneventful. Had a good time with Liz - even if she did have to work last night. We decided that I should spend last night at her place after the drink I ordered at dinner ended up being a lot bigger than expected. Probably for the best anyway. And the drive this morning went really quickly - except for the part where there was like a 20 car caravan of Michigan plates - all going 80 mph in a 50 mph work zone I might add.

Spent the rest of today trying to stay as cool as possible and failing miserably. For those of you who don't know what the weather here in beautiful NE OH was today - it's still about 90 and it's almost 10pm. Yick. It's supposed to be just as hot tomorrow and Tuesday too - luckily I get to spend all day in the wonderfully freezing air-conditioned mundaneness of work. It feels like it's been ages since I've been to work. Definitely not so happy about the ending of the whole vacation thing. As promised, here are all those photos that I couldn't post while away from home

No knitting pictures of course - haven't finished the sock yet - so close. I just didn't get a chance once I got to Pittsburgh and it was too hot to do anything today. Maybe tomorrow. My last day in Philly - I coaxed mom into finding Loop. Oh the time and money I could have spent in that store. And... they wound my yarn for me!!! I know that the knitters out there are rolling their eyes at me, because what yarn store doesn't wind yarn purchased there? The one I went to around here - will not name it though. They had a sign over their winder that said "NO WINDING". What is the point of having the funny looking wooden thing out in front of customers if you won't help them out with it? So much time saved. So much more effective than sitting with it around my knees. Maybe on my birthday wish list... Anyway, disappointingly, or not, I got more sock yarn - some really pretty colorway of Lorna's Laces. Can't remember the name and it's still with mom in NJ. But it's sooo pretty. Saw lots of colors and yarns I so badly wanted to get - but I didn't know any of the amounts that I would need for any of the blankets or other things I'd like to work on. But I can always go online and order from them - they did give me a free tote bag after all. So anyone near Philly - go to Loop. It's so nice and the ladies that were working were also so nice. Alright - it's been 45 minutes since I started this post, so I think it's time to end it.
