Bucks County (in the winter)

When I first received the assignment to go to Bucks County, I was torn. Part of me was excited to go back to the place I knew so well, and the other part of me was disappointed because I truly had thought I had "been there and done that." I had gone to New Hope for weekend trips before, and I thought I knew all this wonderful town had to offer. The theatre, restaurants, and shops always were a delight to visit. So when I saw that most of my trip was spent in other parts of Bucks County, I was surprised and eager to get started.

We started off the first half of our trip in Peddlers Village in Lahaska. This is about 15 minutes away from New Hope. We stayed at the Golden Plough Inn. The first thing you notice about Peddler's Village is how helpful and genuinely friendly everyone is. We arrived early, and the people at the front desk at the hotel were happy to help us get into a room, and then suggest a good place for lunch. We checked into our room and were so impressed. The rooms at the Golden Plough are tucked in between or above the shops, so at first I thought they might be small or noisy
