More Lancaster Fun

We were hoping for the chance to see some of our favorite Christmas lights in Lancaster, but sadly, we were about a week too early!  We did drive by my favorite house in all of Lancaster! This is President Buchanan's house.  We have a gorgeous Hermansader print of Wheatland.  It's a beautiful Federal styled house built in 1848.  The inside is just as wonderfully restored.

We were also fortunate enough to have dinner with Nancy and Aunt Shirley while we were in town.  It was great to see both of them and to catch up!

The kids had a good time seeing Grammy too!

We also got to spend some time with Andy's dad Tom as well!  We went to his house and for lunch together while we were in town.  It was great to see so much family during this trip!

Before we left, we made sure we got to eat our way through Lancaster County!  We stopped at Isaac's for lunch the day we arrived and on the day we left, we hit up Rachel's Creperie and Cafe for breakfast!  The kids loved it!  Sis had some of her favorite birch beer for breakfast!  Who knew it paired so nicely with crepes?

We also hit up my favorite building in Lancaster!  Central Market is my favorite place to visit when I'm in town!  The kids like walking through to see everything they have to offer!  Central Market is the oldest market in the country!  

We also made sure we drove by some of our favorite places.  We love showing the kids where we spent our days as kids.  We drove by the old house, where both of us grew up and even the property that Andy tried to buy along the creek on Rt. 999.  They only way we'd move back is if we could build on that piece of land...It's still a dream that's alive and well with us!  We drove through Conestoga and Safe Harbor as well as Manor Twp to see some of our favorite farms.  The kids got to see the Dairy and where mom learned to ice skate as a kid - well, the pond is gone, but they were all to use their imaginations.  The Dairy has changed so much since I was a kid and use to go there with my Pappy Hershock.  We also went to one of our favorite parks to let the kids burn off some energy before we got on our flights home.  They both LOVE this slide!

We all had a great time but were ready to return home to our beds, sun and flip flops!  We love our visits to Lancaster, but surprisingly are all very happy living as Floridians!
