For another adventure specific to Lancaster County, we hit up the Strasburg Railroad for a round trip ticket to and from Paradise, PA. It was unseasonably cold, and wet, but that didn’t damper the fun!
A Simple Life with the Amish
During a very cold, rainy Memorial Day weekend, we ventured north for a visit with the Amish in Lancaster County, PA. We learned a lot during our short visit, and even saw some Amish families out and about!

At Home with Washington

Hiking GSMNP
Part of the appeal of the Smoky Mountains is definitely getting out in nature – and we were able to be one with nature through some hiking. Though it took a little prodding, once we were out and about, it was a great time!
