Amish Trip / Vacation

Hello all!!! So far the vacation is going wonderful!!! On Monday late afternoon we arrived at our friends the "Tjaden's" house. We had a wonderful time visiting with them!!! (for those of you who don't know, the Tjaden's are our old time friends from Colorado that moved to Missouri 4 years ago) We were originally going to stay with them overnight, but Mrs. Gebhard's was having allergy problems with the cats...so, we stayed at a close

Motel/Hotel that night.

The next morning, we all met at a dollar store, and caught an Amish man and buggy. To respect them, unfortunately I couldn't take a picture...so, I guess you'll have to believe me ; ) the Amish people are so very friendly by the way. After that, we went to an Auction that Amish sell their produce at, and then we went to "Anna's" house...she is an Amish, along with her husband and children. We looked at their farm, went inside their house, and even got a long buggy ride. I have posted some pictures of the Amish house inside and out. After that we went to McDonald's to eat lunch before heading to a volleyball game that the Tjaden's were in...they won by the way!!! After the game, to celebrate, we went to McDonald's again...I had a coffee-something...anyway's, that was so fun!!!

The next morning, we went to the "Little House on the Prairie Historical Si

te"...that was so much fun!!! (Especially with the Tjaden's) After touring the Ingalls/Wilder house, we were on the road again. We came to a hotel that night and we all so tired, went straight to bed. This morning, we swam in the pool after eating breakfast. After that. we were on the road again...beautiful views by the way!!! ; )

Here are some pictures below...

Amish Trip Day 1

That Saturday afternoon when I left, there was much crying from the girls of the family! After we said our goodbyes, we went to eat at Country Buffet, and once again, met my family and our friends the, “Colorado’s” there on accident…so we stayed their talking and celebrating until about 7:45 p.m. After that, we went to the Gerhard’s house, and got ready to leave the next morning.

Sunday the 20^th of May:

On the first day of our trip, this is what we saw most of the time…

We went through Kansas, and when I say Kansas, yes I mean the flat part. : ) (sorry Kansas people) that’s when you take a book out and read…

For lunch we had meat sandwiches, with Twizzlers, and Pringles. For the road, we had sweet ice cold lemon tea…yum!!! We read, talked, and listened to music. I drove for 2 hours, before handing the car back over. Along the way, there was at least 20 people over each bridge that we went under, and this is what we saw...

Vacation

Hello fellow bloggers!
I have a huge opportunity! My friend, "Aubrey" will be graduating tomorrow. Instead of a reception, she wanted to go see the Amish/Mennonite country to see what it's like and what they do every day...and she asked me to go with her and her family! So...I will be leaving tomorrow afternoon after her graduation. I will be gone for about 2 weeks, and while I'm gone, I'm going to get very limited Internet access unless we stay at a hotel/motel that has FREE Wifi...so I will try to post as often as possible on my trip, but no promises. ; ) I will post as many pictures as my computer will allow.
Thank you all for being a part of my blog!
