Punxsutawney

Somehow I completely forgot to blog about going to Punxsutawney, PA.  What?  Ok, so this dude is Phil.  You can tell he's taxed from his one moment in the spotlight every year.  In fact, he rests so much, that one of the most common inquiries is whether he's actually alive or not.  Fear not, he is truly alive.                  
Phil holds a special place in our hearts, though we've never met him until now.  We invited him to our wedding, but that's the only day he has work obligations, so he had to decline.  It was worth the small detour to make it to Punxsutawney.  There are these groundhog statues all over the city, and it's fun to go looking for them.  We've really enjoyed the cities that have fun statues all over the place to find.  Just a fun little way to explore.  I'm happy to have visited Punxsutawney, but I'm equally glad we weren't there on the 2nd of February--just a ton of folks come out to check out Phil's prediction.  If you get the chance, check out the town, and say hi to Phil at the library.
