Both our moms are from Pennsylvania
(mine from Pittsburgh, Adam’s from Philadelphia’s Main Line)
and thankfully, we still have family there.
It’s a lush, green, hilly state full of
art, food from around the world, and our nation’s history.
And, of course, the incomparable LaMalot Farm.
Here are some resources to help you plan your own “travels with two” to Pennsylvania.

So, you’re probably thinking, “Pittsburgh? Really?”
I’ve always gone there because it’s where my mom grew up, and where my grandparents always lived. But I’ve come to find that Pittsburgh can be pretty darn cool all on its own. It’s a city of beautiful hills, rivers, and bridges, art, shopping, parks, and food, and despite ongoing transition from the coal dust of the past, it absolutely shimmers at night.
Oh, and it has just about the best model train set on Planet Earth — can’t forget that.
