Re Lancaster, PA, I would suggest going to Lititz, http://www.preservationnation.org/travel-and-sites/sites/northeast-region/lititz-pa.html (don't miss the Wilbur Chocolate Company) , and you might also go to Cornwall Iron Furnace http://www.cornwallironfurnace.org/index.htm , and while you are in Cornwall you can go to Tony's Mining Company Restaurant http://www.tonysminingcompany.com/ . Mt. Gretna is not that far away, and worth a visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Gretna,_Pennsylvania (have a Jigger at the Jigger Shop).

It has been a LONG time since I was there, but Hershey, PA is only about 45 minutes from Lancaster, PA.

Lancaster is Pennsylvania Dutch country and you should find a good local place for shoofly pie, although I have no suggestions from personal experience.  There is also a substantial Amish population and shops and (I think) a lot of good antique shops.

Last year at this time of the year I sent out a query for great places to visit in Alexandria Virginia and your responses were wonderful. This year I’m heading to two places Baltimore Maryland and Lancaster Pa, any suggestions on sites to visit and more importantly places to eat? We are alrrady visiting the aquarium
