Our Family Vacation....Part 1!

We left home on Wednesday, July 11 and spent the night near DFW.  We got up at 3 am to go to the airport for our flight which left at 6.

Our flight went great.  We had tried to prepare Titus for flying and he did super too. We landed, got our luggage and went to pick up the car rental.  As soon as we got on the road he was asleep.

We drove to Ronks, PA where we stayed the night in a caboose!  It was a fun place we all enjoyed!  They had a little petting zoo and playground.

We visited a place called The Amish Village before riding on the Strasburg Railroad. This is one of the quilts that was displayed in the Amish home we toured at The Amish Village.


We enjoyed the beautiful farmland.
The train ride was very peaceful and relaxing.  It was a great way to end our day of travel.


Friday we got up and went to the highlight of the trip for me......meeting my pen pal!  It was so very special to me to meet her and listen to her share her stories and wisdom.  It was a dream come true to meet her in person.

We left, had lunch, and drove to Hershey!  Note the little kisses on the light posts.


Oh it smelled so good when we walked in!!


We spent the night in Martinsburg, WV that night.

On Saturday morning we drove to another part of WV to visit my husband's youngest brother and his new wife.  It was so nice to have a place to relax.  We were able to do some laundry and enjoyed home cooked meals!

We also went with them to see this bridge. It was a pretty little trail to see it.

Continued in Part 2 tomorrow!!

Have a day of blessings!

That caboose sounds like fun. I'm sure the boys enjoyed the train ride too and of course the Hershey factory. How nice that you got to meet your pen pal. How nice to be able to visit with family and that bridge is amazing.
