Return to PA Bucket List

When I finalized my move back to PA, I decided one of the first things I wanted to do was really to enjoy my time back in PA and do some of my favorite things while also exploring some new places. So, I made a list as I always do on my phone with a bucket list of places and things to do. Below is the list I’ve been adding to over the last few months with those I’ve visited so far bolded. I will continue to add to this list as I fine new places in PA to explore but for now, this is the list.

Most of these are within Lancaster County, with the rest of them being within a few hours drive. I would recommend you make your own bucket list for where you live. It makes a weekend with no plans more fun, as you can pick a place to stop for coffee, a new hike to go to, and maybe a new town to visit. If you are local to Lancaster, borrow some from my list to start!
