Vacation

Recently Deb and I went on a short vacation to Williamsburg, DC, Amish Country and the Poconos. Here are a few of the pictures. One of the first places we visited was Presidents Park. They have these huge statues of all the presidents. There is also a little biography of each one. In addition there are several boards with significant moments in American History. It was pretty cool.


I am not a crook!!!


Then we went to Busch Gardens. Here is one of the Budweiser Clydesdales.


And a couple of the roller coasters. This one is called Loch Ness Monster. Having Scottish ancestry and also been to Scotland, I had to go on it. It was cool.








After Williamsburg, we drove up to Haymarket, Va to stay with my cousin. Deb and I went into DC and visited the American History museum followed by a scenic bus ride around DC. Here are a couple pics from the museum. (didn't take that many)





After our wonderful visit with Dickie and Scott, we headed to Amish Country. On the way there, we stopped at a wine shop for a sampling and then the Lancaster Brewery.

While in Amish Country, we visited a pretzel factory and got a chance to make our own pretzel. I don't think these ones made it to the sales table.


We did a lot of driving around but again not many pictures. There are still a lot of horse and buggies in Amish Country. You can even take a ride on one if you want. We chose not to.

Unfortunately, we did not take any pictures in the Pocono's. Didn't see all that much to take pictures of.

The beer and pretzels look yummy...too bad you didn't get them in the same place. Probably would have gone well together!
