Pennsylvania

After getting to DC, we went to Pennsylvania to visit Tanner & Allie for a couple days.  

First thing we did was sleep in (the east coast timezone was throwing us off big time)... and then we went to some really cool caves right there in town.  They're similar to Timpanogos Caves in Utah, but you don't have to hike to them, just walk down 72 stairs, and you're there!  
This was a little lake of water inside the caves

Next, we went to Lititz, PA, where the first hard pretzel was made, and where Wilbur Chocolate factory is.  
We got to make our own pretzels.. However, the dough was just flour and water, because they said they're aren't allowed to have people actually eat the pretzel they make anymore.  
This is the only Wilbur Chocolate store (and the factory) because they sell their candies to other companies who then make products with the chocolate.  
That night, we walked around Harrisburg with Tanner.  We walked across one of the bridges, and then walked over to where the minor league team plays.  It was REALLY cold that night...

The next morning (Friday), Allie, Ty, and I went to the Lancaster market.  They've got a lot of really good food there, and Tyler's favorite is the many different kinds of milk (strawberry, blueberry, orange...)  I didn't get any pics, but we bought a lot of milk, cornbread, a donut, and a couple other things.  

That same day we headed back to DC, and stopped at Gettysburg on our way.  

We finally arrived in DC Friday night, and met up with Jace for dinner and a movie (Divergent), and then headed back to his place to sleep.
