Hey Friends,
Recently, my Mom took me on a trip for my 40th birthday gift. Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was my chosen destination. We had explored various types of trips and locations, but nothing seemed to align with our schedule.
Once we started discussing the possibility of going to Lancaster, everything fell into place neatly. It was nice to visit a new place for me! The area is beautiful!
I wanted to go to Sight and Sound Theatres in Lancaster. This is the final year they will be performing the Noah play for a while. I have never seen their production of Noah, but I had heard great things about it! Visiting Hershey World was also high on my list of things I wanted to do. It is a chocolate lover's paradise!
On this trip, we also managed to get some much-needed rest and relaxation. We had been extremely busy leading up to it. Relaxation was just what the doctor ordered.
Our dear friends, Bruce and Priscilla Mayhan, decided to spend their 43rd anniversary with us in Pennsylvania. For many years now, we have never known where they're gonna show up! They are always saying, “See you down the road.”
This time, we knew they were coming, but Pennsylvania is a new place to add to our meetup locations. It was wonderful to spend several days with them!
The whole week was super fun! Here is a little rundown of our itinerary. Monday - Gettysburg and The Shady Maple Buffet.
Tuesday - Hershey World and Longhorn Steakhouse
Wednesday - Noah at Sight and Sound and Agape Cafe
Thursday - Shopping and CiCi’s Pizza
Friday - We started the trip toward home. We decided to stay an extra night in Pennsylvania due to the Friday traffic.
All week we enjoyed time with our friends. We laughed, cried, reminisced, and made new memories. The trip was an excellent way to celebrate the start of a new decade.
Thanks to the Mayhans for being part of this special week! Thank you to my Mama for the best birthday gift! I loved our time in Lancaster so much!
I have snapshots from my phone, Mom's phone, and Bro. Bruce’s phone. I hope you enjoy a picture of a load!
Monday

One activity that I wanted to do at Hershey World was stuff your own Reese’s cup! I highly recommend!
Waiting to go on the ride that shows you some of what it is like in the factory.
I also wanted to create my own Hershey bar.
Next was the highly recommended Agape Cafe. We received multiple recommendations for this restaurant, and we wanted to try it. It was fabulous! Mom and I both had a Reuben sandwich.
Their homemade Snickers came extremely recommended, and it was delicious!
Wednesday
This was our reserved date to go see Noah. we were highly anticipating a wonderful production! We were not disappointed it was incredible! I cannot put into words how much mom and I enjoyed it this play! If you get the chance to go see Noah before the end of the year, I highly recommend. you can check out Sight and Sound Theatres online. Noah is currently playing in Lancaster, Pennsylvania through December 31. Joshua will begin next spring. there's also a theater in Branson, Missouri and they show different plays. I know this year has been David. that theater will soon be switching to their Christmas play. I believe David is coming back there next year as well.
No photography is allowed during the shows. We did capture a few pictures outside and before the show began.
Wednesday evening we went to Longhorn to celebrate the Mayhan's anniversary.
Thursday
Friday
Thank you for riding along virtually on this trip with us!
