Sunday we took our travel van out for a drive to beautiful Lancaster Pennsylvania.
Our van has been in storage and hasn't been driven for a few weeks so we like to get it out.
Plus we wanted to get out of the house too.
Lancaster is about an hour drive from our home.
It's a well known Mennonite farming community in a huge valley with the most beautiful scenery.
On our way home we stopped in Strasburg (est. 1773) at the Strasburg corner store for a delicious home-made ice cream cone.
A single cone dip was very generous!

Apparently much of the filming of the movie "Witness" with Harrison Ford was filmed at a near-by farm.

On the way out of town I tried to take some photos of the historic homes from the van.
Not easily accomplished in a moving vehicle.
The day was overcast too so the photos are a little dark.
Strasburg is a historic town - just a crossroad in the countryside.
They have tiny front yards landscaped beautifully.
You can take a ride on a real stream engine train in Strasburg and visit this huge fantastic indoor and outdoor train museum.
Back to the adorable homes overflowing with pretty flower boxes and brick sidewalks.
America flags proudly displayed.
Even log homes.
Shuttered windows and cute porches.
Iron fences surrounding tiny flowers gardens with brick pathways.
More log homes with blooming flowers and patriotic flags flying in the wind.
We weren't the only ones out for a Sunday drive!
