ANOTHER TRIP TO HENNSYLVANIA

Eunice and I went to Leggcaster County in Hennsylvania and brought our little Ethel Louise.  We have to admit first that we hopped a ride with our friends Merle and Laurie but did our own thing most of the time.

Leaving in the morning and getting there around lunchtime,  we decided to eat before doing anything else.  Eunice went online and found a pub called Bube's Brewery that had a beer garden.



We were shown an old bar and were quite thirsty.

Too much beer, I guess.  We checked into the Leggcaster Arts Hotel and took such a long nap that we didn't even notice the person who came in for the turn down service.  Although Ethel Louis did not imbibe she just slept, anyway.



Before leaving, we saw a fake horse...but not made of rubber.   We notice in was fake when we got on its back and it didn't move.


Esther and I went to a place called Eastland Alpacas.  We never saw these cute animals before and they were so friendly.





The next place with to the Turkey Hill Experience.  We didn't get to make ice cream but we did take a tour.  We were really glad that it was called Chicken Hill.

Lunch time...we were not really hungry but decided to have a cherry lime ricky at Hinkles Pharmacy. No, that is not Mr. Hinkle.



Time to check in at the next hotel located in the town of Columbia.   Airy View Bed and Breakfast with lots of friends to see but not necessarily able to play with.   They have a pond with a duck, turtle and swan.  There is a dog in the house.  Chickens in the barn and three pet alpacas!!!




That evening we met Sharon who owned this really cool restaurant  called Prudomme's Lost Cajun Kitchen.


Slept really late, skipped breakfast  and wound up at DJ's 50's Diner for lunch.  Eunice was a bit upset that she was unable to taste the really delicious ice cream malted drink and went over to another table to beg for someone's ice cream sundae.   Our waitress understood. 



Our next stop was to Strasburg to ride the rail road.


We then went across the street to the Strasburg Railroad Museum.  




Dinner that evening was at The Pressroom.  We weren't really hungry and just wanted to listen to the jazz band.  Ethel Louise wanted to have some beer but we only allowed her to look at it.



The following morning we had a spa treatments scheduled at the Best Western in Intercourse.  Ha, ha.
