6 Reasons To Visit Pennsylvania This Fall
With the announcement of the pumpkin spiced latte at Starbucks and the adornment of autumn decor at TJ Maxx, it’s clear that Fall is right around the corner. I feel like it’s said every single year, but I’ll repeat it because well, it’s true. This year is flying, and it’s hard to believe that summer is already coming to a close. Sienna and Aria are both getting into their school routines, the mornings are beginning to have that crisp sensation in the air and all of the fall decorations we have stored in the basement are practically screaming to be let out. So, needless to say, we’ve been thinking off…

Foxburg, PA
Recently, Sean and I took a trip to the small, but charming, town of Foxburg, Pennsylvania. One of Sean’s very good friends was getting married in the area, so we took the weekend to explore all that Foxburg had to offer. While Foxburg, PA has never been high on our list of places to travel to, we were interested to learn some of the fascinating history that surrounds the area.

Hiking in Cook Forest: Seneca Point Trail
Pennsylvania is an extremely wooded state, so it can be difficult to get a good view of anything when you're hiking, which is what makes this particular spot one of my favorites to hike, even in the winter.

10 FALL HIKES in WESTERN PA
If you’re like me, then you’re not only excited about the upcoming fall season, but you’re already planning for it too. I know, I know. “It’s only August, Jamie.” But I can’t help it. We’ve had some pretty grey and drizzly days here lately in PA, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s too early to bring out the fall decorations. Yeah, yeah. I get it. I’ve gotta wait until AT LEAST September. But until then, I’ve been busy researching some of the best things to do in our area when it finally does come time to start celebrating. Sean and I are big into hiking, and we LOVE…

A Day in Pittsburgh with Mom & Dad
This past weekend, my parents flew in to PA from California. It was their first time coming to see me since I’d moved away from home, and I was so excited to show them everything our little part of Western PA had to offer. We spent the first part of our weekend showing them one of our local state parks, Moraine, and went out boating on Lake Arthur. It was a nice, sunny day but wasn’t too warm, so it was a perfect day to be out on the water. We had the girls with us that day as well, so they got a chance to spend a little time…

A Weekend in Washington D.C.
Over Memorial Day weekend, Sean and I took a trip out to our nation’s capital. We were able to book a place super last minute in Baltimore. We would have loved to book somewhere a little closer, but we were happy just to have a place to stay that didn’t cost us a fortune. I had visited Washington DC before with some of my 8th grade class as part of a school trip, but Sean had never been, so I was excited to share this experience with him. We had a full two days in the city, and with a limited budget, we found this was one of the best…

Virginia Beach on a Budget
Sean and I LOVE traveling and exploring new places, but we also have this desire to do that full time. So for us, that means taking a lot of weekend trips throughout the year that don’t break the bank or set us back on our goals. We recently took some time to visit Virginia Beach, and although we only had a day to explore what has become the largest city within the common wealth, we found that there were plenty of ways to have fun that didn’t put a dent in our wallets (or our goals).
