Hello!

I wanted to put in a quick post – mostly an FYI – about our plans.

We have already made two posts official as we wander around Erie County, and we have actually already visited almost half of a dozen more. However, there are a couple of items to note with respect to our strategy.

1. Erie, PA (if you’re unfamiliar) is a wonderful place. It gets all of the seasons, and it gets them all pretty hard! However, the one thing we cannot guarantee is how long it will get each season. Some years we have as many months of winter as we do the other three seasons combined. 🙂 All kidding aside, we know that summer is here and in full swing, however, within a few short weeks sunset comes earlier, temperatures get cooler, and the “gorgeous tans” turn into long sleeves and jeans.
2. We are doing our best to recommend locations that allow you to get outside and truly maintain as much social distancing as possible. Whether there is a resurgence of the pandemic and we see additional rules close businesses, or we just continue to take precaution so that the chances of spread are decreased, we are trying to get away from the crowds. Throw in the fact that with children it can be hard to maintain distances and wear masks for long periods of time.

It is for these reasons that we are starting primarily with outdoor spaces such as parks, trails, beaches, and etc. We will continue to venture into the shops, restaurants, and entertainment, but in the current climate we hope you understand why we haven’t, yet!

Also, feel free to make recommendations. Whether it’s a place you know and love, or you want us to go check it out first, we are more than willing to consider suggestions!
