Our long vacation to Busch Garden and Virginia Beach got cancelled so hubby and I decided to just hit different places while he was on vacation leave. We went to Hershey Park for two days then we came home. Then we drove to the Amish place in Sugarcreek, Ohio on July 17th. It was our first time visiting an Amish place. Hubby have been to one when he was a kid though.
It was raining when we left home and we were praying the whole way though for the rain to stop when we are there and it did!
One thing that we love about road trips especially to places with lots of farms is seeing the farm animals that we don't normally see in the city.
There are so many interesting to see when you go on a road trip.
Going to the Amish place was not planned, it was just a random urge that hubby and I had. I have been wanting to see how Amish lives since I only see it on TV so I was excited on this trip.
Our GPS took us to the back road and we were starting to think we were lost again, lol. We were driving in the middle of nowhere but glad that we were on the right path.
When we finally reached Sugarcreek, we were relieved!
The kids were very excited when we stared seeing horses.
The first place that we went and see was the oldest Amish house that was built in 1869 but was relocated. This old horse buggy was fascinating in the eyes of my son.
The old Amish house was relocated near a cornfield.
It's amazing that the house was relocated with its foundation and every thing still intact.
There was a couple Amish who are entertaining guests inside the house.
I will make a separate post of what is inside. They have so many display that took us back from the olden days. Those things that we see in old movies were on that house
I asked the old guy if he foundation were just added when it as relocated but he said that everything is original.
Before leaving, we wanted some photos by the horse buggy as we don't see this things in our place.
The couple who were attending to guests were very sweet and kind. I love that they are still maintaining the house for future generations to see.
Our son was in his ornery mood of making those poses, it makes us laugh, lol.
I will post some more photos of our adventure in Amish land next time. July brings us interesting adventures. We were in Sweet rush hunt, from Hershey o Sugarcreek, they are all sound so sweet
