Lancaster, PA pt. 1

A few weekends ago, Eric and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary...five months after the fact.  We have found that it can be a challenge to work between a grad school and teacher's schedule.  Finally we had our romantic getaway to Lancaster, PA.  Home of the Amish.  We started the weekend visiting with two dear friends at Messiah College.  We then made our way to a bed and breakfast on the north side of Lancaster.  Now I feel that a bed and breakfast can be a hit or miss, but this one was definitely a hit!  It was run by a little British woman named Wendy.  She was so spunky, I loved it.  She was there if we needed her, but didn't hover.  She gave us the inside scoops on all the sites.  We spent a wonderful weekend visiting small towns and taking in the wonder of the Amish culture. (confession: I am truly fascinated by the Amish.  And I think that Amish children are the cutest things ever!)  It was our first official vacation since our honeymoon and it was splendid.  






Wilbur Chocolatet Factory...the originally Hershey!  Hershey stole the idea for the Hershey Kiss from the Wilbur Chocolate Bud...such scandal!




Amazing coffee house in Elizabethtown, PA.  All fairy tale themed.  And pretty hipster.
