We had a WONDERFUL vacation this year. A mini China reunion at Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA, then on to Lancaster and Dutch Wonderland.
We met up with the McDonalds (who were in Harbin with us getting Olivia) and the Printys, who were in Beijing with us, then went off to their province to pick up Macy. It was great to see both families and I think Jacob really enjoyed seeing the girls again, not to mention Mason & Ethan and Nina. Sesame Place was so-so, but it didn't matter. The main purpose of that leg of our trip was to see everyone and it was great. A few of the families that were in our group couldn't make it and they were missed. Hopefully, next year we'll all be able to get together.
The second leg of our trip took us to one of our favorite Bed & Breakfasts of all time (and we've been to many) - the Apple Bin Inn in Willow Street, PA. The owners, Jamie & Steve Shane, make you feel so welcome and serve you an amazing breakfast every day. I wish we could have had our reunion there! It was fabulous. They made Jacob feel very welcome, as did another couple that was staying there (they were sweet enough to leave Jacob a gift and birthday card the day they left). Jacob loved "his" room and "his" bed in "Steve's house." There are a lot of B&Bs out there, who don't welcome children, but Jamie & Steve were fantastic with him.
During our trip, we rode the Strasburg Railroad, tooled around Lancaster, bought new Amish made quilts, went to a petting zoo, and visited Dutch Wonderland. Dutch Wonderland was PHENOMENAL. They have a lot of rides for the littles - and some that are good for the adults. We highly recommend it and plan on going back next year. And, it's about 20 minutes away from the Apple Bin Inn. That's a win-win in my book.
