Fun Trip To Pennsylvania

Intercourse, PA
Buggies
Hershey Chocolate World
Pier in Harrisburg, PA


So.... this weekend my friend Tom and I decided to take a trip to Amish country in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. We headed out nice and early and it was fun to see how the Amish live. Pulling into town we stopped at the bank where an Amish family came walking out. As we drove behind the bank we saw the man and his son climbing into their horse and buggy that was tied up behind the bank. Driving down the road you see horse and buggies on the side of the road. Very funny to see. We only stayed there for a little while. We did take a buggy ride into the countryside with a young lady named Elsie driving our buggy. She was very open and willing to answer any question we had. Interesting to learn about their way of life. We got to stop at a house where we had the opportunity to buy fresh made lemonade or root beer. I had learned from my roommates to not have it b/c they prepare it differently. I neglected to share that with Tom who gladly ordered a root beer. I told him before he got it and he tried it and pretty much felt the way my roommates did. Pretty funny! After the buggy ride we decided we had gotten the just of Amish Country and decided to head to Hershey, PA. We went to the Hershey Chocolate Factory and drove all around the town. Ate a great lunch at some little restaurant and then decided to head to Harrisburg, PA. When we got into the town we realized there was an Obama Rally at 6:30 pm and thought it could be fun to see the guy. So... we wasted time walking on the water and crossing over to some little island that has batting cages, arcades, baseball fields, etc. I suck at batting cages is all I have to say. Then we headed to the Capital to see Obama. We didn't realize it didn't start until 8 pm. So an hour of standing there bored and tired we decided to throw in the town and head to the car. Spent a little more time walking the trail by the water and then we walked by the Capital again... I could hear Obama speaking but couldn't really see him. Oh well....! We headed back home after a long day of seeing Pennsylvania. It was a fun day! Beautiful Weather! Another trip to cross off my list!
