    Man I’m gonna throw it out to the Mrs and see. We haven’t been east without youth group kids so it’d be great to make it and spend a few days in the area. It’s a short 18 hour drive

    What's some ideas? Since the date was moved, we don't have to be in a hurry to get home. (If we get to come...)

    I'll hafta get back to you...I don't recall the names of a lot of these places. And some of them wouldn't apply so much without little kids.

    Yeah for empty nesters it's not quite the same visiting the Zoo/Aquarium. Back in 2012 I stopped at this little hole in the wall hippie place and had an awesome time with the wife: Glass blowing school and gift shop. Sadly they closed shop last summer.

    When I was in the area last I stopped in New Castle PA and checked out a defunct amusement park which was a good way to kill a couple hours.

    So, places close down after you've visited?

    Maybe you can get compensation for not visiting, eh? :whistle:

    My parents owned a very small business on the Towne Mall in New Castle many years ago
