Labor Day Weekend!

Scott's parents came to town this weekend and we hit the road for Pennsylvania. First stop Lancaster County, Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch country. I was completely convinced that I wanted to convert. Life seemed so much simpler there until I saw the world's biggest clothes lines and women washing by hand. I changed my mind pretty quickly. Nash rode a pony that turned mean and I had to yank him off in a hurry, and then the pony tried to bite me. Atley preferred riding on a tractor rather than a pony. That was probably a good choice.

Next stop, Hershey, home of Hershey's Chocolate. This is my new favorite vacation destination. What more could you ask for than to have a town completely centered around the production of the world's greatest food staple, chocolate.

After a night's sleep, (notice I did not say a good night's sleep) we headed for Gettysburg National Military Park. We spent the day touring the battlefield and learning more about the horrific events that surrounded the small town of Gettysburg in July of 1863. It was a great weekend and although they are thoroughly exhausted, the boys were very good travel companions.
