More delicious frozen treat options in the Valley.

I'm a big fan of the new frozen yogurt shops that have been popping up all over the Valley, with the most recent being Froyos in Mechanicsburg. I stopped by over the weekend and satisfied my (very) sweet tooth with sweet & salty frozen yogurt and too many delicious toppings to list. I really enjoyed that most of the flavors were low fat or fat free - it made me ... read more

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh my!

Last weekend we took my almost two-year old twins to Lake Tobias on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. This was my first time and my husband hadn't been there since he was a kid. What a great place for families! Not only is it extremely affordable, only $6/person for zoo admission (children under 3 are free), an additional $6 to go on the safari tour and free ... read more

It's Outdoor Dining Time in Cumberland Valley

Last night I got to enjoy Flinchy's deck for the first time this season. I love their food and it always tastes better on the Train Wreck Deck, affectionately named after the trains that pass by right behind the restaurant. My husband got their cheese steak (which he claims is one of the best) and I tried their wings. They were awesome! I got the Asian sauce which was ... read more

New Dining Option in Shippensburg... Worth the Trip!

On a recent visit to Shippensburg, some friends and I decided to try out the brand new CJ's American Pub & Grill. This pub took over the old Tollgate Restaurant building when it closed a couple of months ago... and they have made MANY changes. The general layout of the building is the same, but everything else completely updated. It's a little darker inside ... read more

Best Hiking in the Valley

The recently arrived warm weather means that it is the perfect time for hiking in the Valley. My family and I love to go hiking at Kings Gap. After a leisurely drive to the top of the mountain, we park and head to the back porch of the Mansion. It always provides incredible views of the Valley. Then we walk over to the Mansion Garden to check out the flowers and see the frogs ... read more

Celebrating Warm Weather with Iced Coffee from Courthouse Common

Today is the perfect day to walk around Carlisle! A few of my co-workers and I decided it was also a perfect day for iced coffee, so we walked over to Courthouse Common Espresso Bar & Bistro on our lunch break for an icy beverage. All three of us ordered off of the April Featured Menu which included Funky Monkey (chocolate, banana, peanut butter & espresso) and Coco ... read more

Sharing the Valley, One Great Ice Cream Cone at a Time.

My son takes after my husband in that his favorite place to be in the whole world is our house. I, on the other hand, can't stand to just sit at home all day. I had an unexpected day off with Cole and I had planned to have lunch with some friends. It was almost time to go but I still had to coax him to get in the car and be happy about it, so I ... read more
