This past Saturday I took Gary and Natalie to Shady Maple for their first time. Those who are not local- Shady Maple is a HUGE smorgasboard outside of Lancaster- all you can eat Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. As we were standing in line for almost an hour- Gary leans over and says this better be worth it. Within 10 minutes of sitting down he decided we can go back!! You should definitely try it out if you have never been there.
While driving around Gary was telling me how he loved homemade rootbeer as a child. Not long after we drove past this sign.
The sign was at the end of Mennonite/Amish family's driveway. We saw some other cars there so decided to give it a try. You pull up to this shed/barn where you ring a doorbell and the lady came up from the fields to serve you.
Gary emerged very happy. Homemade rootbeer. I was also rather excited for the awesome jug it came in!!
All in all we had a rather successful trip to Lancaster. Natalie was amazing all day- 11 hours of in and out of her car seat or being held all the time. Lets just say she needed some floor time when we got home. Can't wait for our next day trip!
