The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania

WOW!  This Canyon IS Grand!

Friends, until January, I thought that I live an hour away from the Grand Canyon, and suddenly, I had visions of riding a donkey to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and then riding it back up.  I thought that would be a pretty neat day trip for me to take with my family, and I was really disappointed that we hadn't done that yet. 

I really wanted to ride that donkey!

But anyway, I learned that the Grand Canyon I live an hour away from is the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.  It isn't the same as the Grand Canyon out west, but I heard that the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania is something to see, just the same. 

Finally, earlier this Fall, before the weather got bad and before they put the salt that eats cars on the road, I had the opportunity to travel to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania in one of our Vroom-Vroom cars- the Spirit AMX.  Our car drove in a giant pack of other classic cars, and boy, was it ever fun!

When I got to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, I couldn't believe it.  It was really pretty!  There were so many trees!  And I was way up high.  As far as I could see, there were trees and trees, and then steep hills, and a river!  The river was all the way at the bottom!

I wanted to go see the river, but Daddy said no.  I mentioned the donkeys, but Daddy said there aren't donkeys at the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, so I had to be happy admiring the river from afar.

Yes!  This IS the first time I've ever eaten at a Pizza Hut!

And for the most part, I was.

I was a little disappointed about not being able to ride a donkey to the bottom and back up, but I DID get to ride in the Vroom-Vroom.  So it wasn't all bad.

Then, when I thought things couldn't get any better,  all my friends got in their cars, and we all drove to a Pizza Hut!  And we had a dining room at Pizza Hut all to ourselves!

Now, I've been IN a Pizza Hut before.  All the way up in Arcade, New York.  But I was a little tiny baby, so I wasn't allowed to have any restaurant food.  I know you won't believe this now, but there was a time when I was really upset about restaurants, because Mommy and Daddy would take me to them, but I had to have Similac or pureed foods out of my On The Go Bag.  I never got to eat restaurant food, so it was a really big day for me when I finally got to eat restaurant food.

My Pizza Hut food was a great experience.  I loved everything about my breadsticks and my Supreme Pan Pizza.  It had the perfect balance of sauce, and bread, and vegetables!  Yum!

What's for dessert?

All in all, I had a great day at The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania and the Pizza Hut.  I loved being out and about with so many people who love classic cars as much as I do, and I loved seeing new things and going on new adventures.  The fun cars are all put away for the winter now, but when I need to smile, I get out my memories of that day when we drove around the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, and I think those memories will get me through until next Fun Car Season!  I'm pretty sure they will!

You know what we don't have to wait until next Fun Car Season for, though, Friends?!  We don't hafta wait until next Fun Car Season before we see each other again!  I'll be right back here, bright'n'early tomorrow morning!

I'll see ya then, Friends!  Remember to buckle up and tip your waitress!

I love ya!  Muah!
