For my birthday weekend, Mike planned a fabulous weekend in the Poconos mountains - about 1 hour north of home for us. We had a great time! We stayed in a town called Jim Thorpe which was an old coal mining town - and the town has lost none of its charm since its heyday more than 100 years ago! We stayed an a beautiful old B&B that was walking distance to everything in town and right next to the old church so we could hear the bells ringing on Sunday morning.

View from our B&B front door...you can't see it but first up is a great little winery!

We spent the weekend exploring town - walking and taking a train ride through the valley. It felt a lot like being in northern Minnesota when we took a hike to some local waterfalls. It was a great weekend - and we are already looking forward to going back to catch another season in this beautiful town.

| We stopped at an Absinthe bar in town - this water contraption melted a sugar cube into the drink...very unusual! |
