Another Hot Day; 9/11 Memorial, Bowmans Tower, Peddler's Village

Today's ride was another hot one. After a slow start at the diner we headed out. Our first stop was the 9/11 monument in Lower Makefield Township...but not before having to do a u-turn to get to it. Next we headed up to Washington's Crossing State Park to climb the hill up to Bowman's Tower. It's a high stone tower on top of a hill overlooking the Delaware River and the valley surrounding it. You used to be able to climb the stairs inside to the top but now they've installed an elevator. Next we went to Peddler's Village. We tried several very crowded places for lunch before settling on Earles, which was almost empty. What a great burger! We walked around Peddler's Village a bit before getting on the bikes and heading for our last stop...ice cream at Tanners Market. This place is always crowded and has the best ice cream and serves the largest cones. We ended the day by returning to the base of the Burlington Bristol Bridge.
