Poconos or Bust (again, only in 2015)!

In keeping with the annual tradition, we made our President's Day pilgrimage to the Poconos.  After this trip, I must confess that Pennsylvania has a lot of cool stuff (a chocolate museum, an ice cream museum (which we have not been too yet), the Please Touch Museum, and the Poconos).

As usual, we stopped on the way to the Poconos in Philadelphia to go to the Please Touch Museum.  As you may remember, we went to the same museum in 2013 and had a lot of fun (we tried to go in 2014, but it was closed because of a snow storm - so we went to Target instead, which was not as much fun).

Aside from the Please Touch Museum, we also went snow tubing, hiking on the frozen lake, exploring in the woods, to the scary Blakeslee Flea Market, and to the Boden Outlet .  This trip was our coldest Poconos trip yet.  Saturday the high temperature was 5 degrees (with -15 wind chills) and Sunday, the high temperature was -1 degrees (with wind chills hitting below -25 degrees). But, we did not let the cold stop us for long.

Here are a few highlight photos, you can see the rest here.  You can also check out photos from when we went in 2012 (when I was a very little guy and it was evidently warm).
