There is so much to do in Hershey, PA! It was so nice to be able to go back over Thanksgiving break and visit the Hershey Antique Auto Museum and also be able to stroll through Hershey Gardens and see all the beautiful Christmas decorations, holiday decorations, gardens, fall foliage, and roses. Despite being cold and wintery outside, the gardens were still beautiful. Love!

Hershey Antique Auto Museum | AACA Museum

We started our day at the Hershey Antique Auto Museum. I was impressed! There is a rotating exhibit near the entryway and the museum is full of automotive history packed onto three floors! There was even a small train section. It was really educational and fun. There were so many automotive brands I had never heard of, and a large number of unique vehicles. There was even a section all about Tucker! Now my dream car is a Tucker. I need to watch the movie. It sounds so amazing!

If you are ever in the Hershey area, I highly recommend visiting the Hershey Antique Auto Museum (AACA Museum) and taking the time to see all three floors. It is really an amazing place! Love!

Hershey Gardens

After visiting the AACA Museum, we went to Hershey Gardens. Despite being cold and winery outside, it was so nice to stroll through the gardens and see the beautiful, manicured flowers, plants, trees, etc. I definitely would like to return in the late spring when everything is in full bloom. It looks like the flowers and roses will be beautiful! In November, we caught the end of the fall foliage and a few roses remained for us to enjoy. The gardens were decorated for the holidays, so it was magical. Loved it!

Again, if you are in Hershey, PA, definitely visit Hershey Gardens! It is a beautiful walk, perfect chance for fresh air, and you will love the manicured gardens.

Andy Warhol museum

I am a huge Andy Warhol fan. So, when I was in Pittsburgh, it was only natural that the Andy Warhol museum was must-see on my list!

The museum has six stories of fabulous art and history surrounding Warhol. I loved seeing his early art all the way through to his films. It was also fun seeing his personal belongings, his collection of Fiesta (yes! he had Fiesta plates etc.), autographed items from celebrities, commercial art, artists who were inspired by him, photo with the pope, and more!

I didn’t want to post too many pictures of his pieces here on the blog because I think it is much more interesting in person. His transition into film is extremely interesting too. I highly recommend going to the Andy Warhol museum in person. It is amazing and you won’t regret it!

You can learn more about the museum at Warhol.org. I highly recommend visiting!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more from Pennsylvania on the blog!

Duquesne Incline in Pittsburgh

When I found out there was a steep incline in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I had to check it out! After all, here in San Francisco we are very familiar with steep hills, I just didn’t realize other states had them too! haha, Call me provincial!

So, in Pittsburgh PA, they have a couple historic inclines which were built in the late 1800’s to help workers get from the train to their homes up a very steep hill. We decided to ride on the Duquesne Incline which has a parking lot at the bottom of the hill where you can see where the three rivers meet. Of course, the view from the top of the incline is even better!

The ride was really fun, and it was only $5 round trip per person: cash only. We loved the historic finishes on the incline and seeing the working museum with historic machinery that keeps the incline running smoothly. Love!

At the top of the incline, there is a viewing area where you can see a fabulous view of Pittsburgh and also where the Steelers play. Of course, I still say “Go Niners!” haha, but I digress. . .

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Steel Mill Saloon where I enjoyed a mushroom and Swiss burger. It was really good; I highly recommend it!

The ride back down the incline was fun and it was nice to see the view a second time. If you are ever in the Pittsburgh area, I highly recommend taking a ride on the Duquesne Incline! It’s so much fun and a mini-history lesson! Love that!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more from my trip to Pennsylvania!
