PA most definitely is pleasant. I'm pretty sure you're CLOSER to Philly NOW. We don't go enough.
As for the family? We'll be seeing them soon.
i loved riding through PA on the 80, the scenic route. It's so weird out there compared to CA. so green Even NJ is greener than most parts of LA. (and i'm not just alking about the air)
i agree, green is great. the worst is gray. i hope it snows soon to cover the grayness of everything.
