Lancaster, PA, Amish Country, Gettysburg and Philly

We culminated our almost 2 weeks of sightseeing with a relaxing few days in Lancaster, PA with Jared's family. They were good sports about taking us to see some Amish countryside, and a visit to Gettysburg. We ventured out on our own to Philadelphia to see the birthplace of our nation. It was a great end to a wonderful vacation. We can't wait to go back again.

Our last stop in Maryland before arriving at Jared and Debbie's for the end of our East Coast touristy trip.



Loved visiting Jared, Deb and kids in Pennsylvania. They were wonderful hosts and took such good care of us,




We took an Amish wagon ride through some lovely farmland.




Gorgeous Amish countryside of Intercourse, PA



Hangin out with Abe at the Gettysburg Visitor's Center. Wish we'd had more time. The battlefield was reverent and massive. The loss of life on that battlefield is almost unfathomable.




Yup, that's it - crack and all!
