SSS: Pennsylvania

The more I research each state, the longer I want my roadtrip to last.  There's just SO much to see & do & eat in this country! I guess that's the best problem to have though. :)

• Philadelphia's LOVE sculpture

Must Do:

• Visit the Amish in Lancaster County
• Check out the trendy bars and restaurants at The Strip, a historic market district
• Ride the funicular up Mount Washington to see the view of Pittsburgh
• Watch the sunset at Sunset Point in Erie's Presque Isle State Park
• Pal around with Rocky Balboa on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum
• Drive along Historic National Road (America's first interstate highway)
