Summer Vacation: Idlewild and Seven Springs Ski Resort, PA


We enjoyed our summer vacation with the Falks this year.  We thought the kids would really like going to an amusement park and had heard great things about Idlewild in Pennsylvania.  The park is about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh and has been in existence since 1878.  As a result the entire park is full of mature trees and historic charm.  It was a wonderful place for families and I think we will definitely return.  There are rides, Storybook Forest, Mister Rogers Neighborhood, and even a water park that we didn't even get to because there was so much. 























We stayed in a condo at Seven Springs Ski Resort which was nice.  There was a pool in the condo area and we went swimming a couple times a day. The guys brought their mountain bikes and rode one day.  In the future they will probably try the downhill course and rent equipment.  The rainy days meant we enjoyed the arcade at the resort a few times too. A good trip of 4 days.
