Today, we left for New Jersey.  Before we left we visited a few more Amish sites and returned to Intercourse for a few things.  We could not find Megan a shirt that she liked better than the one she first saw in Intercourse.  I also wanted some more homemade Amish Ice Cream from Lapps.  It [...]

Last night, we stayed in old-fashioned caboose turned into a motel. The Red Caboose is an interesting place to stay. If you are ever around Paradise, PA it is worth at least one nights visit. Yesterday, we went on a buggy ride to a working Amish farm. Today we plan to head back to Bird-in-Hand [...]

You can say what you will about the Amish, but you can’t say they don’t have a sense of humor.  How could you not have a sense of humor when you name towns Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand, and Blue Ball.  We started the day driving around Bird-in-Hand then we went to Intercourse, PA.  We went on a [...]

We decided to go ahead and visit Hershey’s Chocolate World today instead of tomorrow. This will give us more time to travel the Amish communities around Lancaster on Monday and Tuesday.  Hershey’s Chocolate World was a lot of fun.  We rode a ride that took us on a tour 0f how Hershey makes its chocolate [...]

We visited the Arlington National Cemetery this morning. You can’t but the experience into words. The changing of the guard was breathtaking. We are now off to Amish country. Share

It has been a long fight with the hotels wireless, but if I sit in the lobby and don’t move. It allows me fast enough speed to upload a few pics as you can see below. I hope the internet access in the next hotel is better. Canada Trip 2010 – Washington, DC Share

What a great day in DC. We started off on the Metro Train that dropped us off at the Navy Memorial. We then made our way to the United States Capitol. We were a little upset with the view. They were setting up a tent in front of the Capitol and they had drained the [...]

It was nice to sleep in and catch up on some much needed sleep after two days of driving. The internet at the hotel is slower than dial-up, so will try and post from iPhone. We plan to start at the Capital and work our way to Lincoln Memorial. Share

We made it to Washington DC around 8PM EST. It has been a long trip so far.  If someone says they don’t believe in GOD then they need to get in a vehicle and travel from Texas to DC.  The scenery along the way is breath taking.  It helps you reflect on how small we [...]

We are waiting on the house sitters to arrive, so we can hit the road.  We are fortunate to have friends willing to stay in our home while we are away.  It also gives me comfort to know that my parents are close by and can stop in to check on the sitters if they [...]
