It was around this time last year that our family started to plan our vacation for the following summer. We knew that we needed to get a head start on our plans because we tend to have problems making firm decisions. So, we took out the atlas and worked on our plan. For once, we easily decided on Ohio. While we included many of the major tourist attractions and cities on our trip, we also added a side trip to Holmes County. There, in Amish country, we truly experienced a different kind of life. And, we found it extremely interesting. The entire family paid attention to everything going on. To make it even better, we had a great cottage to stay in and enjoyed some wonderful food and even an Amish buggy ride.
