Amish Country









Last Thursday we decided to take a break from packing and go on a little excursion.  There are so many things to do in this area that we are overwhelmed but excited to see all that we can while we live here.  We've decided to plan one big excursion per month.  Our first one was a trip to Strasburg, PA--it was about 2 hours away.  You probably are aware that we have some train lovers in the family, so we felt like we could indulge the boys with trains while we indulged ourselves with some beautiful scenery and some really good food!
While we were there we went to several train museums, rode a train in an open air coach through Amish countryside, ate lots of good food, and stayed in an actual caboose that was converted into a hotel room.  Not 4 star accommodations by any means, but the boys were thrilled so it was worth every bit!
Chris's favorite food from the area was Shoo-Fly Pie--we brought an entire one home and ate it all this week.
