We visited a museum set up like an Amish house and farm. The museum itself was a bit disappointing, but, hey, at least we got to see some ducks!
We went out to eat one night at Poppy's Pizza. We were the only people eating in there, and the owner was really nice and gave us an extra slice of cheese pizza for Justin to eat. I think this was Justin's second time eating pizza. He's a big fan.
Speaking of food Justin is a fan of, we also visited September Farm, where they make cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Justin was very excited to see so much cheese in one place.
"Cheese!!!"
While in Strasburg we also played a really nice round of mini golf. The course was nice and shady, and beautifully landscaped with flowers and plants. Justin enjoyed coming along for the ride and got really excited every time one of us hit the ball.
Here is Tim learning how to twist a pretzel at the Intercourse Pretzel Factory (yes, in Intercourse, Pa, not to be confused with Fertility, Pa or Virginville, Pa).
On our last day in Lancaster County we spent some time in Lititz. The first thing we did there was stop in at the Wilbur Chocolate factory store. Yum!
Then we walked down to the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, where we did not take the tour because of bad timing, but we did buy a pretzel snack and take my picture by the big pretzel out front. There is a picture of me in the Houston family album as a little girl by this pretzel!
Then we picked up some sandwiches and headed to a nice park for a picnic lunch.
Justin enjoyed pointing at the ducks. Here he is by the water, giving Tim a leaf he had discovered.
After lunch we headed to Manheim and went to Root's Market, a humongous farmer's/craft/flea market. You can buy just about anything you want there.That was the end of our time in Lancaster County. Stay tuned for a future post about our time at my reunion in Gettysburg.
