-homemade pretzels are a must in Lancaster

-for activities we went to the Turkey Hill Factory and added on the icecream making experience to our ticket. we also went to Hershey’s Chocolate World (free chocolate included)

-farmers markets and shops were also a big one on my to-do list, and there’s so many!!
