Atco, NJ and Lancaster County, PA

We had a opportunity to visit with our kids and grandkids for a couple of days while our group journeyed from Plattekill, NY to Kinzers, PA and toured Philadelphia.  We rejoined the caravan on Wednesday and toured the Lancaster County area.  Many farms, buggies, scooters and bikes.  We did not take any pictures of the Amish community due to respecting their privacy.  It was exciting the learn from two Amish farmers about their traditions and way of life.  We are very lucky "English."
