Come along with me as I #VisitPA

This post was written by me through an activation with HireInfluence on behalf of Visit PA. Although I received compensation for participating in the campaign, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

These were our only clues as to where we are heading

Let’s just cut to the chase…or the CHALLENGE in this case.

I NEED YOUR HELP

If you followed along the last time that Rachel and I were in Pennsylvania together you’ll remember that

  1. We drove around a round-a-bout at least 12 times before we got help from one of our readers on Periscope (thank you Maureen)
  2. We took a turn and ended up in a park where we knew we shouldn’t be (although I think Rachel was thinking of stopping and asking the woman where she got her shoes).
  3. We finally heard the story of the time that Ben and Joe met a woman who looked an awful lot like Janet Reno

Rachel things she’s ROCKY!

Our goal

With your help, we will be mapping out the perfect weekend trip in Pennsylvania. While I am driving…Rachel will be navigating, and while Rachel is driving…I will be singing to tunes on the radio. We know that as summer approaches that you’re looking for the BEST, MOST FUN, EXCITING road trip to take. Whether it’s a “Thelma and Louise” style getaway like Rachel and I love taking, a romantic trip with the hubby, or even if you pack the entire family (OMG…your mother-in-law is coming) into the van, we’re going to let you in on how to make it a vacation to remember (and not just because your mother-in-law was being a backseat driver).

Where we are going

Our trip is a GIANT CHALLENGE, and you’ve already helped us with the first one on our Facebook Live reveal on Tuesday. But we’re going to need your help as we post our journey on Instagram and Facebook with photos, video & maybe even bring you there LIVE on Facebook. We  arrive in Philadelphia and pick up our rental car TODAY. We head straight to the hotel for some R&R before discovering all of the fabulous things to do in Pennsylvania

Our first stop on the journey will be HERE

Friday

 

  • We begin our #AdventurePA in Philadelphia with a visit to Independence Hall
  • Then it’s off to Amish Country for a bite at the Bird In Hand bakery & Café and a ride in a buggy with Abe’s Buggy Rides
  • I’m most excited about FINALLY getting a history lesson when we arrive at Gettysburg and explore the National Military Park

Elfreth’s Alley – Rach says we HAVE TO GO (she took this shot)

We’ll be all tuckered out by the time we get to the  Wyndham Gettysburg, and even though Rachel loves staying up late…this old lady needs her beauty sleep before we head out again/

Saturday

You all know that I am NOT a hiker, or a camper, but I do love photographing flowers and wildlife, so I’m excited to be spending Saturday at the Ohiopyle State Park Campground (as long as I don’t have to pitch a tent, we’ll be fine).

Our last stop on the itinerary? PITTSBURGH – home of Rachel’s beloved Steelers, my friend Kim, and the Duquesne Incline (and yes, we will be on it).

Our final night will be spent at the beautiful Hyatt Regency in Pittsburgh before we have to return home.

Remember that I said this is a challenge? 

We’ll be competing against some GREAT influencers, and I bet you know a couple of them…

  • Adam – Dadarocks.com
  • Becky – YourModernFamily.com
  • Danasia – TheUrbanRealist.com

What so we need to win? We need your LIKES, COMMENTS and for you to FOLLOW ALONG with our places to visit in pa.

I have ONE MORE FAVOR to ask 

Since this is my very first time exploring Pennsylvania (aside from the Philly story above), we’d love to know where else to stop along the way. We love exploring the unexpected….from cute boutiques to funky coffeeshops, from art galleries and museums, to outdoor market places. If you LIVE in Pennsylvania, or you’ve been on vacation, please share your favorite spots either in the comments here or on one of my social media channels.

Thank you for helping us win….and I hope you’ll learn along with us, why Pennsylvania is the MUST DO road trip vacation this summer. I’ll be chatting with you from the road….so, keep an eye out for us.

    We need to go together. We must go to city tavern. Walter staib is so cool and he’s also done tv stuff that’s historical (at mt Vernon too!!!) and with sandals. And I love history stuff. It’s just fun. And fascinating to see it brought to life!
