One of America's most historic states, it ranges from the urban flair (and grit) of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to the bucolic beauties of the Poconos, Dutch Country, and Bucks County. And for history, don't you dare miss Philly and Gettysburg!

Longwood Gardens in 'Spring Has Sprung & U.S. Gardens Await Discovery'

Spring is here, and summer's already around the corner!  If you’re a flower gardener - and the National Gardening Association estimates that members of over a third of U.S. households are - you already may have begun to till soil and plant seeds. And those who like to travel as well as garden (as well as those who enjoy gardens more by watching than working), now is time to plan a trip to take in some of Mother Nature’s bountiful beauty. Gardens come in a variety of types, sizes and offerings.…

Deerfield Retreat & Spa in the Pocono Mountains

Admittedly, I'd never heard of Lo-Wei, a unique exercise class that combines yoga, strength training and flexibility that stretched my body in ways my mind never thought possible. But it is only one of almost three dozen fitness classes, all part of the dawn-to-dusk workout, weight loss, and education focus of the one-of-a-kind, all-inclusive Deerfield Health Retreat and Spa in East Stroudsburg, in the Poconos Mountains of Pennsylvania, where my friend Kathy and I spent three nights a while…

Kinzua Sky Walk cited in 'In the USA this Fall, Combine Foliage with Adventure'

Dan and Mary Stroudt oooh and aaah at the multicolored scenery below the hot air balloon in which they’re riding. The journey is very different for Mark and Marylee Sutherland as they help to paddle a rubber raft along a stretch of whitewater in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Betsy Goodman and Tom Cross are traveling at a slower pace, strolling across a glass-bottom observation deck. These disparate experiences may seem to have little in common, but they do. They provide…

  • Hey, Darryl, is the part about the alcohol laws in a different blog post, or did I just miss it when I read this?

  • We're heading to the City of Brotherly Love today at The World on Wheels and will be focusing a week on the state with more Byzantine alcohol laws than Utah. Let's start with a trip to Philly: http://tinyurl.com/y7cguwd

  • It's a good thing they're in the City of Brotherly Love because they are the losingest team in baseball. This week's Field of Dreams update at The World on Wheels focuses on Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia, home of the Phillies: http://tinyurl.com/26c3w99

  • Ken, good post. If you're there in season with kids, I'd also add a Phillies game. It's kid heaven.

     

  • Stuff to do with kids:  If you're in town with little guys, 12 and under, Philly has some great things to do.  There are my top 5:

    5. The Morris Arboretum (outside Chestnut Hill) - Very kid friendly!

    4. The Battleship New Jersey (Camden)

    3. The USS Olympia and USS Becuna

    2. The Philadelphia Zoo

    1. The Please Touch Museum

  • I don't know the bluestone gallery Ed and I'm not a gallery goer but the Muir House Inn where I've enjoyed a lot of food and music has closed in Milford too. People will miss the Muir House.

  • Did anyone else read the blog here on the mummers parade?  http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/the-mummer-s-parade-on-new-... Ive seen it in person, have you? And I've watched it on tv and its great!
