What kind of vacation to you go on when you are adding on to your house? The vacation your mother pays for.....and that, my friends is why I had an "Amish Extravaganza 2008."
Unfortunately, I was not actually allowed to drive the Amish buggy, an Amish guy with a very thick German accent drove it. But he would not get his picture taken because they think it is a graven image. (This vacation was educational, too).
Highlights of the trip:
- Visiting a cheese factory--you can't fathom the many flavors of American cheese this place produces. Two examples: Chilli Cheese Cheese and Butter Cheese.
- Eating Amish food--wonderful baked goods
- Shopping at crafty and old-timey stores
- Staring at Amish people as they walked by you or drove by you in their buggy, and having their children stare at you
- Getting spit on by the horse pictured above. While we were going on our little buggy ride, the horse blew some spit out while blubbering his lips, as horses do, and it all came back in our faces. Good times.

The Amish experience just would not have been complete without horse spit! I am so glad we got to see you during your trip. As always, Abigail is a cutie.
Love, Jeri
At least you went to a real Amish village. My last experience ended up being a fake Shaker town that was a tourist trap. Good times.
The baked goods alone would've made it all worth it! At least you have been somewhere different and interesting, right?!
