Trip to Lancaster, PA!

In May we visited Lancaster, PA, for two nights.  We had such a great time visiting with my Mom and Dad, Irene, Scott and Lora and kids!  The weather was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed shopping, playing mini-golf, and visiting the various sites.  Here are a few pictures:

 On the night we arrived at the hotel, we took over the outdoor patio and celebrated various birthdays.  What's a trip without our coffee time and a good excuse to eat cake and other yummy sweets?  Mike always laughs at how our vacations revolve around coffee and sweets...

                   Outside of the hotel.  We really enjoyed staying here and would do it again!

                                                              Yep, that's a real cow!

 One night a bunch of us spent three hours visiting some local Amish farms and businesses (part of something called "The Amish Experience").  Here is Irene and Jules at a dairy farm.

                                         At the dairy farm we saw this garden.  Cute idea!

 Waiting for our buggy ride.  You can't go to Amish country without taking a buggy ride, right?

 Taylor, Jules and Jeremy squished in the front with the driver.  Even Pammy, Juliet's beloved penguin, is wearing a bonnet!
