No, but George Washington has been subpoenaed to appear in Adam Schiff’s basement in January on suspicion of rebelling against England’s King. Some sort of ‘collusion’ or something.

I did this two years ago. It was very nice although the weather would have made the General smile instead of grimace! Then lunch at a beautiful restaurant in the area. I love Bucks County!
To: DoodleBob
This is cool.
I would give anything to be able to go back and time and observe stuff like this. While reenactments are great, they often are full of subtle inaccuracies.

It’s nice to hear they are celebrating these historic events. Nice work.

They picked me a few years ago to play Washington but the boat kept sinking halfway across.
But I’ve been dieting and the boat might make it 3/4 across this time!!

I’m assuming the chubby officer was Henry Knox? =)

That’s hilarious! What’s a Staten Island guy doing in Bucks County may I ask? (Merry Christmas, btw.)
To: DoodleBob
I'm reminded of the last major battle of the Civil War,
The Battle Of Blakeley Island. Some people wanted to do a re-enactment of that battle...the effort was eventually abandoned because no-one would volunteer to be the Yankees.

I considered that possibility. I will say the Washington we saw wasn’t exactly a sylph.

As you probably know, there has been an exodus of NYC-area people to the Poconos for some time. Further, many people live in Lower Bucks Co and take the train from Trenton/Hamilton/Princeton Junction to Penn Station. It is a brutal 2-2.5hr commute each way, but you get to concealed carry at home. On any given weekend, you can find lots of NY license plates as you walk around New Hope or any other tourist-trap artist's colony.
As for Italian guys, I'd recommend dining at Cafe Antonio in Morrisville if you're in Lower Bucks. The food is really good, even if the interior isn't a little over-the-top. Mangia!

Lol @ bad weather stopping them the previous 2 years. Too bad ol’ George and company didn’t have that luxury.

Yea, that was a little odd. I know for years they did it regardless of the weather. One year they basically walked across the Delaware because it was mostly frozen.

Thank you for those photos! Before we moved south, we looked at several homes in Bucks County along the Delaware River. We’ve always loved the area and usually dine at The Black Bass every season of the year. I miss it!
