Shamokin, PA

Every year since I have been a little kid my family would always go on a weekend trip during August to Shamokin. There is an amusement park called Knoebels which has been around since my dad was going through his childhood. We had started out going to a bed and breakfast consistently year after year. About 5 years ago my Aunt Cindy, my dads sister got a mountain house there which made everything different. Every year rather then just my family going, we would pack in my family, and my dads four sister as well as their families.
The past 2 years I haven't been able to make it due to living at school for second summer session. My family went just this past weekend and unfortunately, I couldn't make it. I was upset because every year is always so much fun with everyone there together making memories and reuniting.
It made me think over the weekend how this place is a family tradition. My aunts and uncles have grown up there through the summers and it is always cool to experience the same thing they went through. I would hope when I have a family that I will be able to bring them there as well!

  1. you talked about family a lot. Yes! family is very important part of our life. They always support us and will never hurt us badly. Hopefully you can continue your weekend trip after your mom recover.
