Short Trip to Jim Thorpe PA

Last month, Sean and I made our way to Leaser Lake but we soon found that although it was beautiful, very peaceful and a great place to grab a seat and read for hours, we wanted more of a lay on the sand and dip our toes in water if we felt the need.

So we drove about another twenty minutes to Maunch Chunk Lake in Jim Thorpe, PA. It was such a beautiful day so it was no surprise that many others had the same plans as well. I brought “I’m Judging You” ... yup, I read it again. I just find it so hilarious and on point. I'm also finding myself thinking that hmmm, I must do better. But yes, I agree, I think it’s time for a new book!

We spent several hours in and out of the water and really enjoyed ourselves. I was so impressed with this lake that I can see Sean and myself making this a yearly thing and making the short drive to come here every summer.

When we got hungry we decided to check out the small town of Jim Thorpe, PA and were pleasantly surprised. What a quaint little town! I loved the architecture, the little mom and pop shops all throughout, restaurants and pubs. We soon found out (whilst eating) that people from all over actually come here for the summer to enjoy the outdoor activities that Jim Thorpe offers. We stopped into the neatest antique shop and picked up two items. I told myself that I had no plans to go shopping so I restrained myself.

I was not prepared and did not jot down the restaurant(s) we ate or grabbed a drink at and I can't remember the name of the antique shop either. I'll do better next time. In the meantime, here are a ton of pictures!

We’ve decided that we’ll definitely go back and make a real day/weekend out of it because the only reason we did not go home right after the lake was because we got hungry. We had no idea what the town offered until that day and I'm glad we now do.

I hope you all had wonderful weekends and have a great week ahead! ♥
