Sightseeing on the East Coast

The day after Claire graduated happened to be Saturday, so we took advantage of the weekend to do a little sightseeing before we returned to normal life.

We started out with breakfast in Baltimore at Cafe Hon - amazingly good food with Bawlmer attitude (It's a Cafe, Hon). Claire's friend Lucie and her family joined us, and you can see the photo of us all with Elvis a few posts down.













After filling ourselves silly, we drove up to Lancaster, Co. PA and stopped off at the Farmer's Market and gift shop at Bird-in-Hand (yup, that's the name of the town). Here I am trying on a bonnet which really doesn't look like what the Amish wear. At least it's made in PA and not China.













Then a little car tour searching for covered bridges. I think this one's called Hunsecker's Mill Bridge.










In the late afternoon we needed a little pick-me-up, so Claire found the Cafe Chocolate in Lititz which had the best chocolate drinks I've ever had. Mine (on the left) was an iced mocha, Hal's was a chocolate strawberry lush.













For dinner, we met up with Liesl's friend (since 7th grade) Kavita at the Addisu Ethiopian Restaurant in Lancaster (picture in earlier post).
