Okay, so really it’s more of a working vacation—the only reason I took this trip (instead of heading to Oxford, Mississippi, this weekend for the McLellan family reunion) is because I’m teaching two workshops at a writing retreat at my graduate alma mater, Seton Hill University, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. And because Greensburg is only about a two-and-a-half- to three-hour drive from Uhrichsville, Ohio, where Barbour Publishing’s office is located, I couldn’t come up to this area without paying them a visit—and they got a few book signings set up for me, too. So, since I’ve been posting pictures of the places I dream about going, I thought I’d post pictures of the places I’ve actually been this week!

And before anyone objects, no, I was not endangering myself or anyone else taking these photos from the car. I was not looking at the camera, but just clicking, clicking, clicking as I drove past things and deleting tons of blurred images, or those that ended up being of the car’s window frame once I downloaded the images to my computer.

I’ve posted links to the first image in each set instead of the slideshow so that you can actually see the title/description of the image before clicking through to the next one. As always, click on the image to view the set in a new tab/window.

And because I love it so much, here’s the drive up the hill onto the Seton Hill University campus (sorry it’s so shaky):
