Summary
In this episode of Chaos and Carry-Ons , Stephanie shares her Spring Break trip from Washington DC to Amish Country in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. From staying at the Eden Resort & Suites to visiting the famous Shady Maple Smorgasbord (the largest buffet in the U.S.), we’re breaking down what it’s really like to visit Amish Country with kids. We cover the best things to do in Lancaster PA, including local shops, Amish markets, fudge stops, and unique experiences like buggy sightings and reuse-it thrift stores. Plus, honest thoughts on the food, what surprised us most, and what we would do differently next time. If you’ve ever wondered if Amish Country is worth visiting—or how to add it to a DC or Hershey trip—this episode is for you.
