I’ll go anywhere in search of what I need —which my wife defines as “wanting it so bad that I trick myself into thinking that I need it.” This time, though, she was the catalyst for this excursion. We’d heard about the Rockvale Outlets in Lancaster, PA, which has a great collection of shops to help you dress yourself, your kids, or your home. We’re fans of Pottery Barn stuff, and my wife’s big on holiday decorating, so we made the 90-minute trek to get ready for the holidays. Heading west along route 30, we were in a portrait of Amish country; everything from one-horse buggies to fields of corn and grazing animals to handmade furniture lining narrow streets made the 90-minute drive an adventure. As you can tell from the blog picture, we whizzed past Dutch Haven, a place known for great shoo-fly pie. My wife took a quick pic with her phone camera and made me promise to stop there on the way home. It’s obvious why Dutch Haven has a steady stream of clientele. Certainly, any person with a beast of a sweet tooth will dig shoo-fly pie—we did. We’ve been up to Rockvale Outlets a few times now, and have found great stuff each time. And with Christmas approaching, we’re planning to visit Lancaster, PA for the famous holiday events that attract people from as far as New York. Hopefully, Dutch Haven will be open then too. You’ll definitely find more than you bargained for in Lancaster PA.
