,

I also wanted to mention Hershey, PA, which is just outside of Lancaster and

of course, the home of the infamous Hershey chocolate!! They have a

winterwonderland at their amusement park that time of year. It is a great

time for kids as well as adults, and is a spectacular sight. They also have

tours of the chocolate factory and who can forget the hershey kiss

lightposts that line the downtown district. If you'd like to e-mail me with

your address, I can get some info. off to you.

, what does it matter what we can see? Does this place have a bar?

LOL, I'm only half kidding! I crack myself up. Made a great Fuzzy Navel

tonight. Used Pineapple-Orange-Bannana juice. Yummy. Better limit myself

to one of these! LOL Beth

ahhhh... Lancaster... beautiful area and they have some restuarants that

serve family style all you can eat.... they just keep bringing out bowls of

very good, hot, not really low colesterol type food until you can not eat

anything else... the two I can think of are Plain and Fancy or Good and

Plenty..... they is also the Dutch Wonderland there,,, not as big as a great

adventure but somewhat more family oreintated... most stuff is not as open on

Sundays ... Intercourse PA has a nice area with lots of little shops and you

can see them making homemade jams and chutney.... It is called Kitchen Kettle

Village.. they also have homemade fudge shops, woodworking and other crafts

like candlemaking and home decorations.... you can also have hay rides drawn

by mules or horses.... you can buy replicas of many of the clothing and lots

of other little knickknacks... hope this helps

This is sooooooooo cool that you have chosen Lancaster or Hershey! Finally I

can drive one hour to see you all instead of five! I think the Hershey idea

is cool because of the winter wonderland thing at Hershey Park. They have

plenty of hotels and motels in that area.

Strassburg has a beautiful railroad museum and a nice ride through amish

country. The kids would love that. There is also a hotel very near by where

all the room are train cars. I think the kids would get a major kick out of

that too!

How far is Hershey from Lancaster? Is there a hotel that you could

recommend? Seems like a bar and indoor pool are requested from certain

people...lol! I'm going to order the book for group planning tomorrow and

see if we can get a discount rate.

What can one really see on an Amish tour in the winter time?

I think for us to celebrate MLK day together would be really neat, afterall,

he fought for civil rights for all, including our kiddies!

Hershey is about 30 minutes from Lancaster. I'm sorry to say, the winter

wonderland, that is amazing, is only in November and December. Although the

chocolate tours are year round. Also for those that like iceskating,

Champions on Ice will be performing on Jan 22. I would still recommend

staying in Lancaster and making Hershey a day trip, if you'd like. 2 Hotels

were mentioned, Willow Valley and Hotel Brunswick. Both are nice hotels, but

I wouldn't recommend either one because of their location. Hotel Brunswick is

downtown, and truthfully, there's not alot to do downtown. Maybe because I

live here!! Willow Valley again is a great Hotel, but not much around there.

I would recommend Lancaster Host (www.lancasterhost.com) It has both the pool

as well as a great nightclub. They also sometimes have comedy acts there.

Centrally located in the heart of the " tourist " trap!! Close to The Amish

Home and Barn, which is opened all year round!! It's also surrounded by shops

and hotels. Turn left and it takes you to downtown Lancaster, turn right and

it takes you to the heart of Amish Country. Towns such as Paradise,

Intercourse, Gap, Blue Ball. And yes these are real names The only

drawback is the 4 lanes of traffic out front but if you want to be close

to everything, you really can't help it. The outlet stores are also right

down the street. Really, any hotel on Lincoln Highway East will be where

you'll probably want to be. Strasburg Railroad is great for the kids, but

closed in January!! However for those little boys, the the Tank store

will be open. www.ttstation.com. I have many other ideas for you all, but

since it's already soo lengthy, I'll close here!!
