Weekend in PA

Memorial Day weekend, my brothers, 3 of my cousins, and I took a weekend trip to PA. My grandparents were babysitting for their 2 youngest grandchildren that week before Memorial Day. We decided to surprise them in church on Sunday. We left Saturday morning around 7 and arrived around 12ish. 

We were in traffic on a back road and saw this van blocking a driveway. I guess they don't need a "no trespassing" sign now! :)

The boys were extra excited about the Quilt Museum ;)

Travelling the back roads. I took a few pictures out the window

I really wanted to get a picture of a horse and buggy (and the driver of course;) so I focused and then when they came into view took the picture. That was a dumb idea because now they are blurry and the grass and fence are in focus. Oh well....

We wanted to eat at Shady Maple but the lines were so long and we weren't hungry then, so we decided to go to a few other stores that were around there. We had sent Evan inside to see if they take reservations (they don't if you are wondering) and he was coming back out and noticed that John L was sitting atop the horse drawn carriage out front. Long story short, after we walked about 10 feet into a grocery store, came out once we realized what it was :) and found out that Good's had closed 20 minutes before, we got a ride on the carriage.

This man was riding his horse and his 4 dogs were just trotting along side him. He never had to holler at them or anything to get them to stay near him. He also gave us a nice little sermon on laying down our lives. He used his horse as a "prop". Something about its not easy for a horse to lay down and it's not easy for us to lay down our lives for others.

We stayed at Extended Stay America overnight Saturday. Each room only had a queen bed, so we had 3 rooms. Andy and Laura shared a room, David and Evan, and I shared with Lanae. Our room was at the end of the hallway and it was like an apartment!

You walked in and it was like a little entryway with a closet ahead

Then you took a left into the little kitchenette. The bathroom was across from the kitchen.

After the kitchen, it opened up to where the bed and TV were
