I will recap yesterday’s adventure first. We left a little after 8am and headed out the turnpike toward Lancaster. It was cloudy to start, but the views were still wonderful. I love Pennsylvania hills!
Harrisburg, that is.
We got into Lancaster right around noon, and ate at Olive Garden. Although I don’t mind eating there, it really didn’t agree with me. I had stomach cramps until about 4pm or so. I just had the soup and salad bar so I don’t know.
We still had a little time to spare so we drove the few miles over to Strasburg. It’s a quaint little 1733’s town, and offers a general store, antique shops, and even frequent Amish buggies on the streets. I bought some non-perils at the general store which were yummy.
The show – as mentioned – was DAVID. They did an excellent job of capturing all of his life, and stressing David’s strong relationship with God. David’s Psalms were sprinkled throughout the entire production. Goliath was so huge that when he fell it felt like the entire theater shook! There were some emotional and tense scenes, and the little boy in front of us (I’m guessing about 8 or 9 years old) cried several times. But he was smiling at the end so all was well. We got home a little after 10pm.

This morning I stripped the bed and washed sheets, and after a piece of toast I cut the grass. It was already about 78*, and rain is predicted for tomorrow. I was glad to see the grass is growing in the new spot beside the deck and down in the lower yard. Yea!
I had the afternoon shift for tours at Hanna’s Town, but I think the heat kept people away. We had about 3 or 4 groups come to the site, but they looked at the inside displays and through the gift shop, then went down to visit the goats. No one wanted to be out in the hot sun for over an hour. The shop cashier and I spent the afternoon exchanging stories about volunteering, families, and car dealerships! I enjoyed getting to know Barbara a bit. When it was time to lock up the buildings, I took a few photos. I loved being there but would have enjoyed having a tour. My next turn is on Memorial Day.

May 21 – What year did you graduate from high school? “I would have graduated in 1948.” (But instead, she got married!!)
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Bedford County (we went through there yesterday on the Turnpike) and the photo posted was the Pied Piper of Bedford. Here are additional photos.
We went through four tunnels yesterday.
