Hey, I'll bet that headline fooled you!
When I said "Skip It," I did not mean to remove Hawley from your itinerary. I wrote this blog after being inspired by
a post by The Lovely Wife where she encouraged readers to take a moment from their serious day and let the inner child loose, and SKIP. *post is members only, sorry!*
I took her up on her advice on Tuesday afternoon. I had been out touring homes & property for sale in Pike & Wayne county with the Weichert Realtors Paupack Group "Grand Caravan." (And boy howdy, does our office have a ton of great listings of homes for sale to choose from!!).
Anyway, after a working lunch with some of my comrades at The Cuckoo's Nest (which claims the best food in Bohemia...it's actually the ONLY restaurant in Bohemia, but I digress) we ended back up in Hawley - and as I was walking to my van I noticed the sign for the scenic River Side Park trail behind the office. I thought of TLW's post, and said "I'm gonna do some skipping!"
Luckily, I had my camera with me, as all good REALTORS should, and took some lovely snaps along the way. The River Walk is a short scenic walk along the Lackawaxen River in Hawley and offers some serene scenes and rejuvenating river sounds, along with some pretty flowers here and there, and the freedom that comes from being alone on a beautiful summer day with no particular place to go...for a little while, anyway.
I walked along the railroad for a bit, and while I didn't exactly skip (I was afraid to...I have never been accused of being graceful or light on my feet) I did leap from railroad tie, to railroad tie...and each time, I thought "Wow, this is fun! I hope nobody is behind me..." A 37 year old woman, dressed in office clothes, leaping on the railroad tracks would certainly raise some eyebrows.
Anyway, it was fun, and thanks, TLW, for the inspiration. I didnt' get hurt, I didn't make a fool of myself, and it gave me a new reason to be proud to call Hawley my hometown.
I thought I would share some of my pictures below. Hawley is a quiet little town in Wayne County (though some of its rural postal customers are actually in Pike County).
There are some charming Victorian homes and buildings to see, antique shops, great food, and some other unique places such as Penny Lane Candy & Candles (with old fashioned candy that isn't easy to get everywhere else), Light Expressions Hand Poured Candles, Black Bear Music Conservatory, Player's Row music store, The Ritz Theater...lots of interesting places to visit or to purchase gifts & collectibles from. Visit the Hawley- Lake Wallenpaupack Chamber of Commerce.
