So as I close this 4 month-ish blog... I wanted to finish by giving some highlights from the last part of our travels....
From San Francisco we flew to Pittsburgh and had a much more chilled out experience with some friends while also touring the city and visiting the theme park Kennywood for the day.
After Pittsburgh we drove to Philadelphia and visited the Liberty Bell and other touristy spots around the city.
We took a day trip to Washington DC which I think has become my favourite place we visited, it was so beautiful and historic! We managed to see Barrack Obama drive by in a limo as well as being thoroughly impressed with the famous Abraham Lincoln and the WW2 memorial among many other things. I was really surprised at how small the White house was!!!
From Philadelphia we drove to New Jersey where we stayed with a family who were about a 40 minute bus journey from New York City. New York City was absolutely incredible and totally lived up to expectation with Times Square being top of the list on the things to see... not least because Ruth was surprised by her boyfriend Phil right in the middle of it and proposed too!! Meeting Whitney from the TV show 'The Hills' just outside Central Park was another highlight along with watching some of the filming of the 'Smurfs' movie which is to be released in the future. We managed to get a picture of one of the celebrities from it, Barney from 'How I Met Your Mother...' We ended up feeling thoroughly star struck by the end of it all!
Seeing so much of the United States following our time in Mississippi was such a privilege... it was amazing to see the diversity of each and every State and I love that now everytime I'm watching an American sitcom or movie I can continually say 'I've been there!!!!!!' :)
