Road trip to the birthplace of the nation


Today was a day of stops.

First stop was Australian embassy to vote. It was the biggest let down of our entire trip. They have all this security but didn’t even scan or look at passport and it was just a building, nothing making it look “Australian”. I think we were both expecting an embassy like the one in the Simpsons J Plus the guy there said we couldn’t even vote because the day of the election hadn’t been called, when in fact it was called two weeks earlier… argh so annoying.

Our second stop was Baltimore which we solely drove through so that I could stop and sing ‘Good morning Baltimore’! We couldn’t really find anywhere right in the city to stop and we had just driven through the ghetto part so we literally pulled into a dock for 5min sang and got back in the car.

Our third stop was the town of Lancaster which is known for its Amish heritage, however as we had driven through traditional Amish land previously, Lancaster looked commercially and was a bit of a letdown.

Our fourth stop was Kohl’s where we had free vouchers that we needed to use, so we did a quick shop before having dinner at Red Robin’s. This was a favourite of mine when I came to the states for Cheerleading Worlds as we went there a few times for dinner. It has the best freckled lemonade you will ever try and bottomless fries! So yum.

Our fifth and final stop was our hotel in Philadelphia which was really nice. We managed to have a fairly early night after planning the rest of our trip.
