Our Spring Break getaway this year took us to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, home of the Amish. After work on a Thursday, we traveled to York, Pennsylvania, where we rested comfortable in a Courtyard hotel. In the morning, we visited the Bird-in-Hand Farmers Market, a unique rustic market with everything novel and sweet and practical under one roof. The flavors were unique to that part of the country. Before leaving, Megan bought a caramel apple, and we delighted in some delicious fruit nectar.
Next, we toured the Kitchen Kettle Village, a collection of over 40 shops, ranging from furniture to yarn to candy to everything else. In one shop, an antique piano was available outside. Folks old and young were tinkering around with the piano for fun. Li-Fang jumped in and rehearsed a classical from memory. Her playing was a serious stark contrast to those who preceded. After her piece, everyone broke in spontaneous applause.
In the Kitchen Kettle Village, one of our favorite shops was the Jam & Relish Kitchen. This was an amazing complete collection of every type and flavor of jams available. Unique to this shop was the ubiquitous tasting stations. You could approach every station and taste free of charge every single jam and spread. This we did until we were filled. Of course, afterwards we felt that we should buy some of the delicious jams and chips.
Before we left that evening, we hired our own buggy ride with AAA Buggy Rides. Our guide treated us to an in-depth tour of the surrounding country with the buggy pulled by two strapping horses.
Again one of our short vacation has ended, but we were satisfied. We had seen a lot and enjoyed a lot. We would gladly return to see and taste more.
