Where to Go in the Poconos, PA

The Poconos. Oh-so-campy, but we can't help but love it. If you're in the tri-state area, it's a much cheaper alternative to the Hamptons and less crowded than the Hudson River Valley.

I spent a long weekend there with my family (e.g. husband, toddler, parents, brother, and an 80-lbs poodle, Ziggy). Here are 3 places to enjoy:

  1. Jim Thorpe: a vibrant, historical town filled with boutique shops, art galleries, and restaurants.

  2. Lake Wallenpaupack: a picturesque, serene lake abundant with recreational water activities such as boating, fishing, water skiing, and more.

  3. Hickory Run State Park: a beautiful state park known for its diverse landscapes, picturesque waterfalls, and year-round recreational activities.

We booked an AirBNB through PoconoLand and they did not disappointment. With six properties to choose from and fabulous hosts, you can't go wrong.

We always love hearing from our community. If you have a gem of a destination to share, we're all ears. Travel safely and thrive!


24 HOURS IN AUSTIN

Austin, Texas - a city known for its vibrant culture, live music scene, and delicious food. Although 24 hours does not do it justice, here's what I did in a whirlwind trip thanks to dear friend:

- intended to see live music or go line dancin', but I crashed...

Although I don't recommend a Texas trip in the dead of July, Austin has a whole lot to offer. Whether you're a foodie, a music lover, or a culture-enthusiast, there's something guaranteed to delight and inspire.

P.S. Austin would make a great company retreat destination....food for thought!
