My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday this year with a camping trip to Lancaster County, PA. This has to be one of my favorite short trips ever. Not only is the countryside quaint and beautiful, the greatest smorgasborg ever can be had for a very reasonable amount. Shady Maple has every Pennsylvania Dutch dish you could ever dream of. They vary a featured item or two each day, but it's always delicious. A word of warning - you're going to overeat, so be prepared to take a nice rest afterwards.
The rolling countryside is filled with cornfields, tobacco, soybeans, potatoes, and plenty of roadside stands. You can get fresh eggs, milk, homemade ice cream, whatever vegetables are in season, and hand crafts from the Amish and Mennonites in the area.
We stayed at a great little campground perched on a hillside. We had a terrific view of farms and fields. My son took several pictures for me to use as inspiration for paintings at some time in the future. The trip was over too soon, but well worth the short time we got to spend away from home.
