when skies are grey: {Time to Reconnect}

Every winter my husband and I go away to celebrate our anniversary together. We go to the same place everytime and everytime we go we say the same thing, we wish the kids could be here with us. So last year we started a tradition of taking the children to Lancaster County, PA for Easter Vacation. Lancaster County PA happens to be a huge tourist location because of the Amish who live here and the country crafts and wares as well as antiques that can be found . To be honest, most of the time my husband and I have went we have spent our days driving around the countryside exploring little shops, eating BLTs at our favorite deli, shopping at our favorite salvage antique store, eating icecream made right on the farm, and other relaxing and peaceful activities. Sounds boring I am sure but we love it because going is away for us is less about entertainment and more about just being together.
My husband has been working down round the clock- he gets up about 6 am every day and
works until he goes to bed each night right now with his primary job and a tax preparer job
he has on the side. It has been rough on all of us so we really needed time to reconnect as a family.

So we decided to take the kids with us to Lancaster for a family trip.

A trip centered around each other and not entertaining them.

A trip centered around reconnecting with each other.

And it was perfect.
