Lancaster  on of my favorite spots as i have discussed many time on my blog.  Recently we were given the opportunity to visit again. As Usually we had a lovely time and my kids did not want to leave the Lancaster Area.  As I told you about in an earlier post we were to visit The Amish Village, Strasburg Rail Road and Choo Choo Barn.

Here are all the pictures I took during my trip to Lancaster 2013

We started at the Amish Village.  I love it here because it has something for everyone .  Not only do you learn about Amish Culture but the kids get to see the animals.  Here are some quick vine video so you can see the baby animals.

Also My daughter loved the school house she sat at the teachers desk and read the paperwork. Not that she is reading she reads everything she love the experience.
Here is a video of our last trip to the Amish Village

They have add a great play area since our last trip.

This weekend we also went to the Strasburg Rail Road. We love the relaxing trip on the railroad.  During our ride they allowed you to get off and see a vintage Ball Game,  not normally on the ride but a great treat.strasburg_railroad_001a (123 of 51)

It is a great relaxing ride on the 100+ fully restored train. They have some lovely events coming up in the next few months  Check them out  Strasburg Train Schedule .

Our Next Stop was the Choo Choo Barn was is so much fun they have a large inside train set of most of Lancaster county. The Choo Choo Barn has added more since our last visit. It is so much fun for the kids to walk through and explore the miniature sets of the farms and villages allover Lancaster county. Here is a taste of the Chooo Choo Barn

I love Lancaster there is so Much to see while there. I really think if you have not visited it is well worth the stop.

  1. Nice! We have to plan a long weekend there this summer. We also love Sight + Sound, so maybe when we see Noah, we’ll make it a longer trip! Looks like fun 🙂

  2. I seriously need to get my kids to Lancaster, it’s so close and we have never been. It’s on my bucket this for this summer. Thanks for the inspiration – your photos and videos are fantastic.

  3. Lancaster is an awesome place to have in your backyard! We are so lucky! My kids love the Choo Choo Barn and the railroad, but those other places you mentioned look great! I guess we need another trip to Lancaster:)
