On Thursday the kids and I left at 8:00 a.m. on a 2-day vacation. Several years ago when I went with Lois to visit a supporting church in Pennsylvania, we went to Sauder Heritage Inn and Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio. It was such a nice place I wanted to take the kids sometime.Eric J. Sauder was the founder of the Sauder furniture companies and non-profit Sauder Village, currently led by the second and third generations of Eric's family. If you've never been there, you need to make it a priority to go. Look it up on the internet: www.saudervillage.org.
Bill and I purchased NUMEROUS Sauder furniture throughout our married life. In fact, both kids still have their
Sauder bedroom outfits.
Since it's only about 150 miles from our house, we were in town by 12:30 p.m. (we had our traditional vacation breakfast at Tim Horton's and needed to stop several times for a bathroom break!). We had lunch at McDonald's then we checked in to our room.
Jessie immediately picks out her bed then gets either her Apples2Apples cards out or her ABC tiles and either uses the iPad or watches a movie on her small DVD player. She enjoys this very much.
We rested for about an hour then since it wasn't raining (it had been predicted to rain all day) we went to the Village and spent a couple hours there. (It is a smaller version of Greenfield Village.) When we were done we went to the Barn Restaurant (on the property) and had their famous buffet. When we were done, we WERE done, and went back to the room to relax.
Throughout the Inn there are beautiful quilts and paintings on their walls. There are also numerous fish ponds and waterfalls with a nice bench to sit and watch. It is just a really neat place.
