They are both of the Protestant faith and they share other commonalities as well. They share aContinue reading “Lancaster County, Pennsylvania – Part B The People and Their Faith”

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania – Part A Philadelphia, PA

This is one of the stops we have all anticipated! It’s such a contrast to some of the other places we’ve been.

Cherry Hill RV Park, – Washington D. C.

Without a doubt, this is the best ever campground!!! No exaggeration – Cherry Hill is the “Disney” of the camping world!! Exactly 100 years ago, these acres were bought by a couple who made it a poultry farm – as a courtesy, they offered informal campsites for passing tourists. Five generations later, it is stillContinue reading “Cherry Hill RV Park, – Washington D. C.”
