If you're social networking-savvy and looking for a summer road trip, Pennsylvania could be the place for you. We know the Keystone State might not sound like the most appealing vacation destination, but, according to Ad Week,
the Pennsylvania Tourism Board has partnered with Foursquare to give summer travelers extra incentive to visit restaurants, stores and historical sites across the state. The board
listed 100 places around the locale, including tips on what to do or see, on the location-based service's site. By checking-in from these locations, Foursquare users can earn three unique Pennsylvania badges -- the 'PA Shooflyer' for foodies, the 'PA Retail Polka' for shoppers and the 'PA 4 Score and 7' for history buffs.
Ever since
Governor Schwarzenegger joined, we've sort of been over the whole
Foursquare craze. The social networking road-trip idea could get tourists into Pennsylvania, but there is one drawback: your diet will probably consist solely of glorious cheesesteaks. [From:

I find that SeniorCitizenLocalWeb has tons of information on Pennsylvania's museums, places to visit, and other tours including the Brandywine area near Delaware.

When I visited PA for the first time, I was in awe of the little towns with a kind of European flavor. The town square with the municipal buildings, church and quaint stores surrounding it, reminded me of the old country. I loved it so much, I decided to move to a little hamlet called Gouldsboro in the North Pocono area. Well, I lived there ten years and I ate a lot of pierogies, but no cheese steak sandwich. And, although I left because I retired back to the old country, I still miss the change in seasons. PA is beautiful during the whole year.
