On Friday, November 9, Tammy and I left after work for a weekend visit to VT. We were there until Sunday after church. We also went to VT early Friday morning November 23 for Thanksgiving weekend to visit with everyone in VT as well as Rick and his family visiting from NY. We left VT early Monday morning for a full week of vacation which will be covered in a later blog.
What does one do when visiting family? Well for us there are the usual things of catching up on the latest news and lots of eating. On our second visit, we added a trip to the bowling alley for two games. Also on both of our last two visits, my mom broke out 1000 piece puzzles. The first one was started around 6pm on Saturday with Tammy, Justin, and myself finishing it around 2am Sunday --minus one missing piece which was found a week later in Justin's sweatshirt pocket. The second puzzle was begun Saturday afternoon and finished Sunday night around 11pm by my dad and myself with no missing pieces.
What is probably most puzzling about puzzles is the many hours spent putting them together just to take them apart again when finished.

Lancaster, PA
On Friday, November 2, Tammy and I left home at 4:30am and headed to Lancaster, PA for a weekend visit. After our five hour drive, we stopped at the Lancaster visitor information center to get our bearings and had some sticky buns for breakfast.
For our activities that first day, we visited the Amish House and Farm on Route 30. We then took their 90 minute Amish countryside tour.
Following the tour, we checked in to our room at A New Beginning Bed and Breakfast which we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. For the evening's activities, we had dinner at a local eatery called Katie's followed by attendance at the ever popular attraction Sight and Sound where we saw the production of Jonah.
On Saturday, we visited the Mennonite Information Center where we saw several movies concerning the Amish and Mennonites and toured a replica of the Old Testament tabernacle. We then scheduled an individual tour guide who drove with us through the countryside for two hours answering our barage of questions. It was then off to Dienner's (another local eatery) for dinner.
On Sunday, November 4, we packed up our bags and took the five hour drive home.
