A Weekend at Firefly

  It really pains me to say this, but I fear that,  I’ve discovered that I simply may not be a music festival person. I’d never been to a music festival. I planned on attending the 2015 Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware this past June, and had grandiose plans of returning a music festival convert,

Hiking Ohiopyle State Park

I love going somewhere and being genuinely impressed, which was my experience this weekend when my brother, sister and I took a sibling hiking trip to Ohiopyle State Park, in southwestern PA. Ohiopyle is both the name of a town and a 19,000 acre Pennsylvania State Park known for its waterfalls, biking trails and what’s

Weekend Trip Idea: Laurel Highlands

With the exception of Pittsburgh, I don’t give western Pennsylvania much love, mainly because  I’ve traveled very little in that region.  Let’s try to change that. This week’s “Weekend Trip Idea” is western PA’s Laurel Highlands.  The Laurel Highlands is a mountainous region located southwest of Pittsburgh encompassing Cambria, Fayette, and Somerset counties.  It’s mountains

Weekend Trip Idea: Delaware Beach Camping

I usually tent it whenever I got to Sea Isle City.  My friends rent a tiny beach house and I’m normally not the only guest.  Pitching a tent in their backyard ensures that I’m not fighting for a couch, and really what’s better than sleeping under the stars (separated by some netting) at the shore?

Things I Wish I Did in Iceland

Iceland was an amazing vacation that I wouldn’t trade for anything.  That being said, we were in Iceland for one short week and while I’m happy with everything we did, I could have easily spent another week or two (or 3, or a month) there exploring all it has to offer.  Here’s my wish-list of

100 Things to do In Pennsylvania: This is a big one.  I mentioned in my 100th post that I was thinking of using it as a “100 things to do in PA” blog but then thought better of it A) because it just seemed like a sad things to do B) because I wanted to get

2013 Evaluation

It’s been a little over a year since I started this blog, and to be honest, I’ve kept up with it much more than I thought I would.  I have a habit of starting a bunch of projects and abandoning them after about a month, so this might stick for good.  Last year around this time

Fall Yurt Camping

Story of my life: “I’m going to stay in and have a low-key weekend so I can give my body and bank account a rest” gets tossed aside because of peer pressure.  I don’t know what age this pressure stops at, but I hope it’s soon.  I have the convictions of a thirteen year old

4th of July Week in Pictures…Very Limited Pictures

As noted in my previous post, I was camping in upstate New York over the 4th of July Weekend (I’m actually not sure whether last weekend or the weekend prior was considered the “4th weekend”, but just go with it). I went in with the intention of taking alot of photographs, especially on the drive between Narrowsburg,

This list is divided up as follows: The first
