+#### Driving there
 The drive in was really exceptional. It took about six and a half hours, but in light of the 10-14 hour white-knuckle hauls I've had to undertake, it was a dream. The weather was warm but not sweltering, and frequent cloud cover and light rain kept the temperature mostly within reason. The real highlight of the drive was a really tiny boat on a trailer named "Toot Toot". Good luck out there, Toot Toot.
 
 My packing checklist made sure I didn't miss anything I needed, so as soon as I got on the road it was a genuinely enjoyable trip.

+#### The Lodgings
 I thought my friends booked an AirBnB, but they just booked a regular BnB, some secluded farmhouse well into the rural outskirts of Philadelphia. I saw a deer, I think a white tail doe, just around dusk that first day which was a real treat.

 The museum was relatively small but really well done. The exhibits were not overloaded with jargon, the artwork on display was incredible, and the estate was lovely to visit and walk around. I only took one picture of this gorgeous pink/fuschia flower I didn't recognize:

+#### Lunch
+Lunch was a real gift. I went to a place called Baba's and got a chicken sandwich that was absolutely sublime. Definitely going to go back next year.

 #### Ten Candles
 Ten Candles is an improvised horror storytelling game with some really interesting mechanics. A full reproduction would be in bad form, so I'll stick to the highlights:

 There's more details, like a process after a candle is extinguished by which players take turns making new, true statements about the world and its occupants, but I think the important parts are here.

+#### Mystery Shed 
+I found out that this creepy stone shed was the source of a pool of water that fed a rivulet connected to the larger stream running through the property. Was it built on a spring? I don't know enough about hydrogeology to even begin to speculate.

 Sunday was thankfully extremely uneventful. Packing and checking out was smooth, nobody forgot anything, and we all got to hug before we went our separate ways. The drive home was smooth and straightforward, and I was unpacked by dinner time.
