Intercourse (Pennsylvania of course!)

Yes, it's a real place.

Yes, we made tons of jokes about it.

Yes, I have the sense of humor of a 15 year old so I think its hilarious.

Why anyone would name a place that is beyond me, especially when it was formerly known as "Cross Keys".

And why people want to live there, probably because they laugh every time they write their return mailing address.

But it's actually a really cute little touristy part of an Amish community and we went and visited on Saturday!
We had a great time even though the weather was dreary and rainy. 

We saw a few Amish horses pulling buggies (none of them were eating McDonalds this time). They have updated them from what I remember. They are completely enclosed with doors and have brake lights and turn signals, might as well by a car if you ask me;)

We walked through all the little shops and looked at all the decorations, fabrics, and other trinkets. But I think our favorite part was all the food shops! They all had free samples of everything and it was awesome!

We went into the "Smokehouse" which is comparable to Hickory Farms, and tried so many meats and cheeses! They were delicious! There we ended up getting a brick of smoked cheddar cheese (the best cheese I've ever had) and a snack bag of assorted cheeses and some delicious sweet smoked sausage bologna. Mmmm!

Then we of course HAD to go in the fudge shop and taste all the fudge. We ended up buying a slice of peanut butter fudge and it might have been my favorite.

But we REALLY hit the jackpot when we went into Kitchen Kettle Village. There they had every possible kind of salsa, butter, jelly/jam, pickles, tart, and treat imaginable. There were so many delicious things we wanted to buy but limited ourselves to; pineapple salsa (if you've ever had mango salsa this is 100 times better!), whoopie pies, and cheese bread.

We also bought a key holder to hang on the wall in one of the last shops we visited. The lady there was great and apologetic that we came on a rainy day and told us about the "onion snow" and the farming in the area. It was interesting to hear and she was by far my favorite shop owner.

We had a good trip and slacked on the taking pictures part. We drove home the back way through Baltimore which ended up taking WAY longer than planned but decided to stop in at a Goodwill since we were still in need of a couch, coffee table, and kitchen table (we've been stopping at every thrift store we see and have had 0 luck). This time it paid off and we got a table and 3 chairs for $25. Hopefully once the weather gets a little nicer I can sand and paint them.

We really enjoyed our trip to Intercourse (haha) Pennsylvania, and it's definitely a place we will be going back to!
