Enjoying the three day getaway in Lancaster, PA

I didn't have to work after Wednesday since I only have a part time job at the moment. My wife said in passing that since I didn't have to work the rest of the week that maybe we could go away for a few days. I perked up immediately. I knew that it meant Lancaster. We've been coming here(Lancaster)since we've been married at least once a year. You would think that we had enough with the tourist traps and trully it's awful but we enjoy the Amish/Menonite farms, the food, that farm fresh smell, seriously! I love the animals. And the weather is perfect! And it is great to see the school children on the road to the little school houses and the buggies going by with the clickty clack of their hooves as they go by. Tomorrow we leave and just in time. The crowds are coming to our little paradise! But for now it's good to get away from our lives.

We were just there 2 weekends ago.  Did you go to Central Market?  The walking tour of downtown is interesting too. When we go in August I want to go to Pres. James Buchanan's grave.  My grandparents are buried  near him.  Haven't been there in years.

Lots to do there and so little time to do it in.

P.S. Staib do you have relatives in Williamsport, PA?  My father's mother was a Staib
