Oh! The Places You’ll Go! By Dawn Klavon
I
n the words of the great philosopher, Dr. Seuss, “Oh! The Places You’ll Go!” Granted, the renowned children’s author may not have been referring to fabulous weekend destinations, but we’re sure he wouldn’t mind extending a little poetic license. This summer is prime time to get back out in the world and enjoy — whether traveling by trains, planes, or automobiles. Why not hit the dusty trail and carve out some “me” time over a lazy summer weekend? Prince William is conveniently located near some excellent spots to relax, recalibrate, and renew. Here are our suggestions for memorable weekend destinations to amp up your summer.
Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts at Penn State University For all you Nittany Lions out there — and even those who are not — plan to visit Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania, July 14 to 17 for the gifts-galore Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. Here’s a weekend to get your shopping muscles moving. Penn State is about three and a half hours from Prince William and exists in the quaint, picturesque town of State College. It’s a weekend trifecta: a quick drive north, small-town charm, and unique shopping opportunities, which all make for an outstanding weekend adventure. Alumni of the well-respected university may want to take a trip down memory lane as well and peruse the campus of their youth.
