Ward Travels The Wards leave Australia for Canada

Scranton, Pennsylvania aka home of The Office

The Office (US) is our absolute favourite show. We have watched all 6 seasons at least 4 times and are just a tab obsessed. A large amount of our conversation seems to be quoted The Office and making “that’s what she said” calls (those who watch will know what we mean - we have to entertain ourselves somehow with our endless hours of driving!) Anyway, on discovering that Scranton, the town The Office is set in, was only a small detour on our route we knew we had no choice but to go.

We were pretty hyper on the way in and instantly searched out the landmarks portrayed in the opening credits. It has all changed but it was still so very super fun to find the Penn & Paper building (no longer called that sadly) and figure out where everything was filmed from. It is probably the most tragic and cliché thing we have done so far but as Jim, Pam, Michael and the rest of the Dunder Mifflin crew have all been a part of our life for the last few years, how could we not visit their home town?! (never mind that it is all filmed in LA – totally not the point!)

A very special purchase - a Dwight bobble head

Nice of them to put a concert on for us when we arrived, complete with fireworks

Also on the plus side we found a really decent coffee shop! Bonus! We spent a fair few hours there sipping on lattes and escaping the heat box that is Buzz at the moment. The heat is really starting to get to us as we really have had no relief from it for nearly a month and we are both starting to feel really drained. Who’s idea was it to go road tripping in the middle of summer in a camper with no air conditioning?! Crazy kids.

We polished those ones off
