OK, I got a Amish question. The wife and I just got home yesterday from Lido Beach, Florida. We were there for 6 days. There were quite a few Amish, 30 or more, hanging out on the beach staying in a pricey($300/night)hotel and sitting on the beach, walking, picking up sea shells, soaking in the hot tub, fishing, etc.? Do they go on vacation just like everybody else?
Some do.They even have their own retirement community in Florida.
Remember, all Amish are Mennonites, but not all Mennonites are Amish.
Are you sure they were Amish? They could have been strict order Mennonite, or even Church of the Brethren. All three groups dress very similar.
