things to do in York, PA

I am sure you’re chomping at the bit to get to York, PA.  Turns out that there’s a plethora of attractions in the greater York area.  Did you know that it’s the Factory Tour Capitol of the World?  Yes, indeed.  It says so right there on the banner…

Kim and I are headed to York, PA tomorrow to get our fingerprints re-done for our adoption.  It was necessary for the Chinese adoption anyway–the powers that be want the prints to be less than a year old.  I thought it was perhaps that fingerprints change (mine have, anyway–I have one less fingerprint than I did last time).  It’s actually so that they know that our criminal activity hasn’t increased since the last time we were printed.  But this will also be necessary for the adoption from Ethiopia, so we’re glad to get this done.

One of the law enforcement officers in our church offered to take us downtown and print us, which would have been awesome!  I was thinking that he could pull up to the church with lights and sirens at max volume, drag us out in handcuffs…any press is good press!  But the agency needs the prints to be electronic, and our local PD only does the old school ink 10 card.  Oh well…maybe he’d still roll the squad car on us!

So we’re of tomorrow to York.  Our appt is at 8, which means we have to leave the house at the crack of dawn.  I’ll be twittering about all the cool factories that we tour.  Maybe I’ll buy a Harley Davidson while we’re there.  You never know…but it’s more likely that we’ll settle for some pretzels.
