Gordonville lies just a few miles east of Lancaster and is in the heart of “Pennsylvania Dutch” country.\u00a0 We stayed at the Country Acres Campground<\/a> and dined last night at the Bird-in-Hand Family Restaurant<\/a>. We also visited some Amish furniture shops and bought a couple of small tables for bedside use, which I think showed great restraint on our part as the furniture the Amish make is beautiful. We really wanted to replace our loveseat with two swivel rockers, but the measurements didn’t quite work out – we weren’t sure how to get the sofa out, or the rockers in, through our 24-inch door.<\/p>\n

We also had breakfast at the local Waffle House, but I don’t think you want to hear about that.<\/p>\n

The campground is the definition of “pristine.” The landscaping is by far the best we have encountered yet.\u00a0 The office has a store with some beautiful (and very inexpensive) local crafts.\u00a0 The pool is huge, but was closed for the season.\u00a0 The sites are level (sort of – I mentioned that I neglected to level when we arrived so we spent two nights listing).\u00a0 Free cable.\u00a0 The best thing, though, was the laundry.\u00a0 We did two loads last night for a total cost of $4.25.\u00a0 The dryers give 17 minutes for a quarter!<\/p>\n

Maybe I will find some mud today just so we can do another load.<\/p>\n

Next up: Gettysburg.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
