Nestled right in our backyard, Tuscarora State Park is a special spot for us. We take our dog, Eli, for walks here almost every day, enjoying the natural beauty of the trails and the peaceful lake views. Mason even planned to propose here, but Tuscarora had other plans—draining the lake to make repairs just in time to change the setting! Despite that, it remains a favorite place for us to relax, explore, and make memories.
One of our favorite summer spots, Heisler’s Cloverleaf Dairy in Tamaqua, PA, offers more than just amazing ice cream. Mason never misses a chance to hit up the driving range, while we both indulge in treats like the CMP, Black & White milkshake, or Cotton Candy ice cream. With mini-golf, stunning countryside views, and a family-friendly atmosphere, it’s a place where you can create sweet memories every year.
