Scenic Pennsylvania.

We headed up to Lancaster, Pennsylvania while my parents were here. We hit the obligatory traffic trying to get there on Thursday night but enjoyed a lovely stop for dinner and a delicious dessert of crepes and gelato. We happened to be near a Wegmans grocery store so we had to stop and enjoy the beautiful cheese and meat departmens. And bakery and produce and seafood and candy. I get my love of grocery stores from my dad so I had to take him there, knowing that he would appreciate the beauty of this store.

On Friday morning, we drove through Amish country and on some of the most beautiful country roads. We enjoyed sampling all the Amish jams at Kitchen Kettle Village and then warmed up with some apple cider.

Then it was off to another visit at Longwood Gardens. I have wanted to return since our first visit a few months ago when Amelia was so sick. She was in much better spirits this time. After a few hours of wandering all over the gardens, which are huge, we discovered that camel was missing. So we embarked on Camel Rescue Mission No. 57. I was secretly hoping that maybe this would finally be the end of camel. But alas, some kind person had actually turned him, excuse me, HER into the lost and found.















There was a huge display of chrysanthemums of all colors. I couldn't get enough of them.
