Snapshots from our trip to West Virginia

Racing off the highway to stop for a restroom, we have a near miss of a chicken in the street in Shippensburg PA.

"The people who live here are nice. They're really happy that we're moving in and building the place up. And they'll work for almost nothing."

And just in case it wasn't clear that we were out of our class at this place,
"You two should look into buying here. Prices here in the mountains are great. You can get a weekend home for $280,000. It's a great price for a two bedrm 2 1/2 bath home."
Weekend home? You've got to be kidding me. How can my Tar-zhay shorts, and beat up sneakers not indicate to you that I'm not even in the market for my first home.
