Dutch Wonderland Dominates Our Amish Country Weekend

Growing up with four Quaker grandparents, it's a little strange I've never been to Amish country.

That kind of changed this weekend with a family trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We stayed at the Comfort Suites with a dozen or so other families from Jackson's school.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to explore the countryside, didn't see many horses on the road, and missed out on the Amish bakeries, furniture stores, and other things that will require a second trip some time.

Instead ... it was Dutch Wonderland on Saturday night and all day Sunday. Not that I'm complaining. The rollercoasters, kiddie rides, and water park were all a blast. And it was fun getting to spend more time with our excellent and down-to-earth school friends.

Here's a sampling of photos.
