Just a heads up to my readers that next week will be back-to-school week here on Suddenly Frugal. That means Monday through Thursday I’ll be highlighting different deals and ways to save money on your back-to-school shopping. Friday, as always, will be Freebie Friday. If I can slip in some back-to-school freebies, I will. Stay tuned!

Last week we decided to take a staycation by visiting Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (aka Amish country). Lancaster, by the way, is less than two hours from our house. I consider that to be a staycation.

While I didn’t get any pictures of the Amish–who were out in the buggies in Bird-in-Hand and Intercourse (yes, that’s the name of the town)–I did capture some neat pictures, which I’ve uploaded below.

The first picture is of a cornfield near Paradise, PA–can you see the embedded advertising message?

The next picture is of  the Strasburg Railroad, which we rode and really enjoyed. I would recommend a ride on it to anyone visiting the area.

The third picture is a dining room table made of reclaimed barn wood that we’re hoping to buy to furnish our renovated space. This table is WAY cheaper than anything we’ve seen in traditional stores. Plus, it’s pretty gorgeous, don’t you think?

Enjoy.
