Good Times in Pennsylvania!!

On Monday, me and 3 other girls went to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to the popular Amish village where several of the other Apx wives had recommended we visit because of the fun shops and homemade snacks! We got a little bit of a late start, plus our GPS took us the longest route imaginable, but we made it for 2 hours of window shopping and fun sites in INTERCOURSE, PENNSYLVANIA, land of the Amish! Here's Bre and Angelia on the top, and me and Krista on the bottom of a little berry sign down the streets of the Kitchen Kettle Village, where we had some homemade ice cream.

The infamous sign of the Amish community... named this for REAL!! This is off the main road, and there's a pull-off spot for perves just like ourselves to get this awesome picture.


Just a glimpse of the Pennsylvania Dutch scenery... everything is so green and country-ish!


A real-life Amish man! They have these silly bicycle-scooter things that they wheel around on.

Me and the girls (Angela, Bre, and Krista) in front of a covered wagon inside the village of shops. There were lots of country-themed crafts and quilts and candles, and treats- it was a really fun trip!

This last Sunday, after Church, we headed to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to see the battlegrounds and take a free tour of the area. The museum and gift shop was pretty cool, and the weather was beautiful that day, but with the expansive area, we opted for an "auto tour," listening to a narrated CD in our car while we drove to each site. After about 2 hours, with another to go, I was bored out of my mind, and hadn't been feeling good that day to begin with, but I think Aaron had a good time. It really was interesting, but long. I'm glad we can say we went, but am bummed that after just 2 pictures, my camera went dead so we didn't even get pictures of the coolest sites of the battlefields.

This is inside the free museum, by some cannon. It's been really cool being out east, and being able to see all the historical sites and interesting, unique attractions of the area.

Me and Aaron recently tacked a map of Maryland onto our wall.. partially so we could be more familiar with our state, but mostly to decorate our bare walls! (We've gotten desperate!) We decided that Maryland and it's surrounding states have the best-named cities of all the world, which one day we might get around to visiting:


1. Assawoman, MD

2. Frizzleburg, MD

3. Intercourse, PA

4. Hardscrabble, DE

5. Lititz, PA
