More delicious frozen treat options in the Valley.

I'm a big fan of the new frozen yogurt shops that have been popping up all over the Valley, with the most recent being Froyos in Mechanicsburg.  I stopped by over the weekend and satisfied my (very) sweet tooth with sweet & salty frozen yogurt and too many delicious toppings to list.  I really enjoyed that most of the flavors were low fat or fat free - it made me feel a little less guilty about the pile of cookies I scooped on top!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh my!

Last weekend we took my almost two-year old twins to Lake Tobias on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. This was my first time and my husband hadn't been there since he was a kid. What a great place for families! Not only is it extremely affordable, only $6/person for zoo admission (children under 3 are free), an additional $6 to go on the safari tour and free parking, the smiles and laughter radiating from your kids will be priceless. The girls love books with animals...they love pointing at them and identifying them by either name or the sound they make. It was so cool to take them on an adventure so they could see that the safari animals in the books are actually real. They were so excited!

It's Outdoor Dining Time in Cumberland Valley

Last night I got to enjoy Flinchy's deck for the first time this season. I love their food and it always tastes better on the Train Wreck Deck, affectionately named after the trains that pass by right behind the restaurant. My husband got their cheese steak (which he claims is one of the best) and I tried their wings. They were awesome! I got the Asian sauce which was perfectly sweet and tangy. I love this time of year when the decks and outdoor eating spots start to open in the Cumberland Valley.

New Dining Option in Shippensburg... Worth the Trip!

On a recent visit to Shippensburg, some friends and I decided to try out the brand new CJ's American Pub & Grill.  This pub took over the old Tollgate Restaurant building when it closed a couple of months ago... and they have made MANY changes.  The general layout of the building is the same, but everything else completely updated. It's a little darker inside than is my preference in a restaurant but we asked to be seated in a window booth and were able to roll the shade up a little bit.
