Explore what Pennsylvania has to offer with the Roadtrip-a-Matic!

This post brought to you by PA Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine. I love living in Northwestern Pennsylvania! Of course, I like to complain about the cold winters and the hot summers but for the most part this area is one of the greatest ones to live in. Along with many natural and historic […]

2012 Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam at Lake Erie Speedway

Last Saturday I convinced the family to go to the Advanced Auto Parts Monster Jam at the Lake Erie Speedway. We’ve attended a few races at this Erie, PA racetrack in the past and enjoy the track atmosphere so I thought it would be a fun night out for all of us!  Six trucks were […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Harlem Globetrotters at Tullio Arena

We had a great family night out on Tuesday! We went and saw The Harlem Globetrotters at Tullio Arena! This is the second time we’ve gone to see them and it was still funny. Last year we had awesome seats right up front but for some reason the seating chart was NOT right on the […]

Family Road Trip to the elk capital of Pennsylvania

All summer long I have been hearing about the Elk in PA. Several cousins, a friend (her friend) and even random Facebook updates –have all been teasing us with photos and stories about visiting the herd located on the other side of the Allegheny National Forest. Finally, the Saturday before last, (the ninth) we couldn’t […]

A visit to The Pioneer Gas & Steam Engine Society

Last Saturday morning we ventured out to visit a local attraction. Well, kind of local, when you live in rural PA, anything within an hour’s drive is considered a local attraction! I’ve driven past the sign for The Pioneer Steam & Gas Engine Society many times over the years without giving it much thought. When […]

Visit Deer Park at Pymatuning Lake in Jamestown, Pa

On Saturday Super G. and I took the kids to just one of the local attractions, Deer Park. Pymatuning Deer Park is located in Jamestown, PA, at the southernmost tip of Pymatuning Lake. […]

Wordy Wednesday – The Harlem Globetrotters!

Monday night we had a really great night out! When I had noticed that The Harlem Globetrotters would be in town this month I knew we had to get tickets. Since Pie discovered her love of playing basketball last year we’ve been trying to do more things that get her involved in the sport. We […]

Our Taste of Home Cooking School Tradition

Yesterday from two to ten I got to spend time with three of my favorite people at one of my favorite places, a Taste of Home Cooking School Show! This is the third show I’ve been to and it is definitely not going to be the last! My mom, my aunt, my cousin (Amanda), and […]

Weekend Wanderings – Family Reunion & Battles Museum visit

We had a really fun family weekend, it went by so fast but I think we managed to make some good memories! On Saturday it was the annual family reunion at the. After a little mix up with the time (we were two hours late! eek!) the rest of the day was spent visiting, chatting, […]

Wrestling, Crochet & Freezer Jam – so random week!

Talk about a completely random week! I just remembered this morning that I left you hanging last week when I mentioned a surprise for my Mm and Lee. The big secret was that we bought tickets for us all to go see the WWE Raw tour. Our closest city isn’t very big so this was […]

Good for the soul! Our First visit to the Lake in 2010

Somehow my brain just skipped right over Wednesday so I missed out on posting my planned Wordless post! I knew I should have scheduled it in! I couldn’t wait until next week to share these fun lake pictures with you though. Last week my daughter’s friend called up late in the afternoon to go to […]

It was a beautiful Maple Syrup Saturday

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Ours was fun, we finally got out side to enjoy some of the spring weather. We spent some quality family time visiting several local Maple Syrup sugar shacks! Our friend joined us with her kids and mom so we made quite the group! The first shack we stopped […]
