It's the trip that never ended! Don't worry, this was our last stop. We went to Lancaster PA not to ogle at the Amish, but to visit Susan's bro' John and his wife Misty. Our first order of business was checking out Central Market, the Farmer's Market in DT Lancaster. John goes there twice a week and knows all the vendors on a first name basis, so we got a very fun and informative tour. Felix's favorite items were the cheese, pretzel and cookie samples he was offered by the vendors. His moms were struck by the wide variety of preserves and the cute brussel sprouts and patty pan squash the size of one's thumb that John cooked up later that day.
John and Misty do not have kids, so there was not the plethora of toys lying about to play with as there were at other locations on our trip. Instead there were breakable objects, cats who were terrified of him, and stairways that he could not walk down. Above is Felix trying his hardest to play with one of Misty's ceramic mermaids while John gently tries to keep it from being snapped in half!
But, we made out just fine. Felix had tons of fun sweeping and buffing surfaces, pressing buttons on the stereo, reorganizing John and Misty's pantry, and, riding about on the cat scratcher.
Then, of course, there was the ubiquitous fashion show with hats,
hats, and yes even more hats that are not pictured. If you want the full slide show, let me know and I'll email them to you.
We also went to the Freeze and Frizz drive-in where we got super yummy custardy soft-serve.
After that, we crossed the street to visit the
Wilbur Chocolate Company. This is the home of the Wilbur Bud. For those who shopped at North Country Coop, you might remember them. They are very large chocolate chips and were in the bulk area. They come in milk-chocolate and semi-sweet. Mmmm, delicious.
But alas, Felix was way more interested in the ducks outside than in the museum, so it was a brief trip to Wilbur-land.
On our last day in Lancaster we visited the Children's Museum. Of course, Felix loved it. How could he not? It included a tractor he could drive,
a giant lite-brite,
And a pirate ship. What could be better?
And that's it! Thanks to everyone who hosted us, and helped us through our first family trip with Felix! We had an awesome time, and, are glad to be home.
