Lancaster Mini Vacay

Our gym friends and us (? Whatever grammar.) decided to head to this Christmas store and museum in Lancaster after gym yesterday.  It was so hokey and wonderful and I am def decorating for Xmas this weekend. 

Trains right when we walked in. Ben almost lost his mind with excitement. 

Then a remake of a scene from Christmas Story! 

With a working train. 

Pretty sure we were not the favorite visitors of museum staff or the other adults trying to view Xmas stuff but... We got our money's worth!

A dollhouse that Jack was wild over. Even a little turkey on the table. 

Santa's workshop. So cool. 

Santa isn't here but he will be soon. 

A whole train room. Hilly and the "no touch" rule was torture, let me tell you. 

A remake of Bethlehem. 

I think this was called a German Pyramid.  Christmas edition. 

Pews. Feeling holy. 

Then we entered Bethlehem and I started to feel like I was in Epcot. Cara (Kennedy's mom) said she felt like she was in the Venetian in Vegas. A worldly duo. 

After the museum we visited "The Largest Pet Store in the World."

Jack loved hamsters so much I almost bought one. But I didn't. Maybe for Jim's birthday I will surprise him with one. 

A stingray pool. If I were a stingray in a pet store in lancaster, I would feel depressed. Hilly and I were pumped though and were the only ones who pet them. 

We decided to have some PA dutch food and stopped at the world renowned Miller's. Kids 3 and under eat free so...

Seriously- so much fun. Cara loves adventures as much as me so I'm pretty happy we found each other.  Exploring new places w my kids is my fave.
