NFL Hall of Fame/Amish Country

We've been in Millersburg Ohio a week today. We arrived last Monday and will be leaving tomorrow morning for Pennsylvania for a little more time in Amish country. We came to this area of Ohio to go to Canton Ohio to check out the NFL Hall of Fame. We didn't realize that this area in Ohio is also Amish country and we were pleasantly surprised as we really enjoy Amish country.

Several days the last week we've shopped around at all the little shops and flea markets in the area. And the Amish food is just terrific. We ate at Der Dutchman, Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen and the Duthman Restaurant. All were delicious homemade goodness and just excellent. Yum!

Friday we headed an hour east to Canton Ohio to see the NFL Hall of Fame. We were so close and Mark wanted to make a point of checking it out...and we had a really good time. We got to see the NFL from it's inception in the early 1900's up through today, including players, owners, coaches...you name it, it was there. After the 3 hour tour we made a pitt stop in the gift shop and Mark bought a 2010 NFL Hall of Fame Hat.

We've set outside most every night this week and enjoyed time around a campfire. It's just so relaxing and enjoyable. We've had a wonderful and relaxing week here in Ohio and we're looking forward to moving on to Pennsylvania Dutch country. We have a week planned near Lancaster Pennsylvania to enjoy the beautiful Amish farms, hills and mountains. Not much on the agenda other than enjoying the area and just relaxing...without a "To Do" list of things we'd like to see.

We've spent the last couple of weeks finalizing our last few weeks on the road before heading back home in late August. We're tentatively considering continuing east from Pennsylvania to Washington DC for a Christians United for Israel christian conference. We're not sure if we can make it or not...but it's on the radar. The only other place we're planning on spending a week this time out is Savannah, Georgia. There's so much history and things to see and do in the Savannah area that we're really looking forward to our visit there.

From Savannah, we'll head southwest towards Lafayette Louisiana to make a stop where we purchased our RV to get some miscellaneous warranty work completed. From there, a brief stop in Livingston, Texas for a visit with Chris & Love, get our mail from our mail forwarding service, etc., then...finally home. Some 4 1/2 months and 7,000 miles later!

Well that's a wrap for this update. We've had a wonderful time so far and can't wait to see what's in store for us next week! Until later~
