Spring Break '08

Todd's parents and Tim came up for Spring Break. They got here on Friday and we just spent the weekend relaxing and catching up. Sunday we celebrated Easter together. On Monday, Eloise and I took the Metro to Bethesda so we could check out a great yarn shop. We both got some great yarn! We ate lunch at Uno's, then came home, made coffee and tea and knitted......great fun!!
On Tuesday, we headed north to Gettysburg. We were amazed at how big it was! So much history is there! We could have spent a couple of days there. We saw the cemetary where many of the soldiers were buried and also the place where President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. We also drove around part of the battlefield and saw many monuments in honor of the fallen soldiers.



After we left Gettysburg, we drove over to Lancanster County, PA to Amish country. We ate a very late lunch at Plain and Fancy, an Amish restaurant. After lunch we drove to see Don and Paula Zeiset and their kids at their new house! We met them several years ago when they lived in Colorado. They just recently moved back to Pennsylvania. It was great to see them! Don, Paula, and kids, thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality and great food! We'll do it again!!
So far the rest of the break has been spent playing disc golf, shopping,basketball, tuning a piano, eating(!), drinking lots and lots of tea and coffee, watching movies, and knitting (not everyone participates in every activity!!). We've had a great time!!
