With spring in full swing I have been giving some thought to where my wife and I should go this summer. We enjoyed getting away last year on the weekends and it would be nice to continue that and really spend some more time together. We both really enjoy the time away from the apartment, getting out, and taking plenty of pictures as well.
We
had quite the list last year and managed to check off a lot of places on the
list so this year it is a little harder to think of towns and destinations that
we haven’t been to. Of course, we are happy to return to some of the places we
visited previously but new places will definitely take precedence. We might
even venture beyond the Pennsylvania boarder although we are still averse to venturing
into the states that begin with New.
So
far, there are a few places already on the list but, again, it is much more
difficult to come up with places and this would be in addition to any work and
lodge travel that I have coming up. Here is my list as it stands today (still
have to discuss everything with my wife and get her input):
- Jim Thorpe – This would be our third time
visiting the small mountain town and we look forward to seeing a few
things that we missed previously including the Butterfly Sanctuary.
- Scranton – I have to be up there in June for a
Masonic function which is when I will look for different things to do and
places to see.
- Hershey – Smells like chocolate! Haven’t really
been there in a while so it might be time to finally get back over there
and visit… maybe a trip to the park is in order too.
- Lititz – The small Lancaster County town was on
our list last year but was cut when we began slowing down toward the end of
the summer.
- Yuengling Brewery (Pottsville) – We tried doing
the tour last year but arrived too late. We will be planning ahead this
time.
- Bushkill Falls - We passed this up last year as
we didn’t want to pay the admission price and we had already walked around
Raymondskill Falls. Hopefully we go there on a day when it is not mobbed
by those venturing across the river.
- Indian Echo Caverns (Hummelstown) – The spelunking
was a big hit last year so it is time to explore another cave. We will be
sure to save this trip for the peak of the heat during the summer.
- Winterthur (Delaware) – Another hot day
destination. I have always wanted to visit this DuPont estate but
something would always come up and prevent it. Maybe this time I can
actually check it off my list.
