Dutch Wonderland

On Friday we left Texas and flew into Baltimore. Because we were as close as we were to the Pennsylvania border, we decided to spend the weekend in Lancaster, the home of Dutch Wonderland. If you haven't been there and your kids are under the age of eight, then you have to go! All of the rides are catered to young ones and with the rides, water park, diving shows, miniature golf, and specialty events, there is more than enough to do in a day. 




Lancaster is in the middle of Amish country. The rolling hills of corn, the red barns, and the Amish farms are picturesque to say the least. 



Although we didn't tour an Amish farm, we did eat at a restaurant sitting on a farm. While we were waiting to be seated, the boys toured the barn, hiked through the peach trees, and petted the animals. We had whoopie pies for dessert, a must have while in an Amish restaurant.



Our trip to Lancaster was so much fun we stayed an extra night and returned to Virginia in the early afternoon. And we didn't forget, Sandra. The Amish hot mustard was purchased. This time we bought you guys two jars because I don't know that we will be back any time soon.
