One day we took Adam and Mel out to Lancaster County. Our hopes were to relax in the beauty of scenery and see some Amish people.
Here we are at Mount Hope's tasting room. Their reds aren't anything to call home about but they do have delicious fruit wines, honey mead, and ice wine. And their tastings are free.

Little boo had fun too.
While on our way to Intercourse, we saw some horse buggies on the side of the road. Like a lot of horse buggies. So of course we pulled over to see what was going on. Amish Jackpot.
The local Amish were having an auction for special needs kids in their community. So they were selling a lot of delicious food and auctioning beautiful quilts. It was a cool scene to witness.
Resting in the shade of the refrigerated truck.
Still trying to understand what we stumbled upon.
In the background to the left, those cartons are the chicken dinners that Ben and Adam sampled. Sooooo delicious.
One of the quilts for sale.
The most amazing roasted chicken, potatoes, fresh hot biscuits and whoopee pie and drink. $6.
One thing that struck me about these girls is that none of them had cell phones. They didn't appear to be distracted by anything. They seemed to really enjoy just being with each other. No one came across as self-conscious or insecure. I liked watching them interact.
The rest of the day was spent driving the backroads of Lancaster County. It's hard to believe these wide open spaces are so close to the city where we live. We love living so close to this unique culture and we were really thankful to share the day with Adam and Mel.
Up next: 4th of July in the birthplace of America.
