Nothing going on in central PA, which is why a group of us are going to the Tartan Day Parade in NYC. Only about 4 1/2 hours away but well worth the trip!

It'll be the same down here Robertson! Just the same - oh! except for the alcohol ..... I'm on medication and cannot drink for another two weeks, at least 
So, it'll be just another kilted day for me!

 Just one more reason
This is just one more reason that I am not going to do a third tour. I miss tartan day, i miss bridge day in West "by God" Virginia, all the highland festivals, etc. Next year....I dont think I am going to work much, just do lots of catching up.
Everyone have a great time for me, take many photos and post them!

Looking online, I don't see much of anything happening in the greater Richmond area.
