Now that the weather is finally warming up and summer doesn’t seem so far away, I’m thinking about exploring our area and beyond even more. I know for sure that we will be doing Washington DC a lot. But there are also a few other places I would like to see in the 3-4 years we are living here.
Like tourist destinations in Pennsylvania! Maybe PA isn’t at the top of your list but there is plenty to do there. Tropical? Not so much. But still FUN! Like Hershey! Who doesn’t love chocolate? While checking out hershey lodge packages I found that some good deals could be found. Hershey Park is only 15 miles east of Harrisburg. Which makes it a short drive from many places in PA, MD, DE and NJ. I have heard some fantastic reviews from friends who have trekked up to the area for a quick vacation with the kids.
Sesame Place is also not very far away if you have smaller children. A bonus to visiting Sesame Place is that if you are military you can receive one free ticket per year for the military member and up to (I believe) 3-4 dependents. This goes for other parks owned by that same company such as Busch Gardens and Sea World! We have taken advantage of this deal at every duty station we have lived at so far since there’s always either a Busch Gardens or Sea World nearby. Such a fantastic gift for those who serve their country and the families that help support them.
