Answer 1

I used to like going to Erie. At least you're near water.

Answer 2

if u have young children, hershey has a great trick or treat week where the kids can dress up and get safe candy. they also have an indoor section much fun. if only adults and they like to be scared, cedar point is the place to be but if it is windy, many of the rides close for safety reasons.  go to the library and get a book on the area things to do or research it on the internet. we found great places that do guided horseback riding trails, sunset rides stuff like that, there is the grand canyon of pa i want to go there sooo badly  maybe next year. bird in hand and lancaster area for amish delights. the good and plenty restaurant is fantastic. so many things to do i cna't think of them all. e mail me if u want more specifics and u can tell me exactly what u r looking to do.  pa is a great place to have fun. if u like caves, there are several of those too. my son lives in pa and we try to find new things to do each time we visit.
