No, seriously. I’m not that sick of travelling, and Lord knows I love it down there, but really. Y’all need to come up and experience Scenic Central Pennsylvania. (Most of the snow is gone, honest!)
There’s a lot to do here, and most of it is pretty family-friendly. We have Amish country, a whole town devoted to the Almighty Chocolate, and museums in Harrisburg. Not to mention Gettysburg.
So, who wants to brave the wilds north of the Mason-Dixon line?
Any weekend is good for me except next weekend, when I’ll be chaperoning a HS field trip.
Your not that far from where we are, MsRobyn. About four hours or so, if memory serves (and it doesn’t always:)). I’d love to come, if it works with my schedule.
i’m in harrisburg, of course i had to get away to south carolina last week to play golf but the weather is improving (only snow still around is parking lot snow piles) and april/may is a great time for the car shows , battlefields, hershey, and lancaster, let me know what your interests are and we can find something for you
After travelling eight hours to SugarDope this weekend, a Central PA DopeFest is well within reach for me. (More to the point, my parents live in York, so I travel down there a lot.) Put me down as “interested”…
I like the idea of a Gettysdope. We could eat at General Pickett’s Buffet, right across the pike from the Cyclorama, and those inclined could hang around for one of the ghost tours.
A Hersheypark-dopefest would be my second choice. I was up on Blue Mountain in my Army days, and that’s the closest I have been to the park. Seeing the park through a rangefinder is nowhere close to being there.
If the idea of a Hersheypark Fest is acceptable, they have Springtime in the Park. Those not inclined to do this have the option of Chocolate World, Hershey Gardens, and some other stuff, and we can always meet for lunch after.
You know, I haven’t been to Hershey or Gettysburg since I was a kid. I’m interested, and, if anyone from Pittsburgh is interested in carpooling, I can carry four people.
Springtime in the Park looks like fun – that’s Easter weekend, for those for whom it would make a difference. I’ve already put in to take that Friday off – how crowded would it get on the Saturday, do you think?
I am so in for Hershey Park. I love rides, now all I have to do is find soe one to ride them with me! I know for sure I can’t do it, this weekend, the next weekend or the weekend after that.
