📍Places I Went This Weekend: Central PA Edition

📍Places I Went This Weekend: Central PA Edition👇🏼I made my way up to the Happy Valley area for the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts—and it did not disappoint! 🎨 From the Public Art Walk to local eats and charming downtown corners, I loved getting to know State College and the surrounding area.

👀 I’m putting together a full destination guide on the blog based on this trip, so stay tuned! I’ll share it in stories and my broadcast channel once it’s live.

🫖 If you love tea & exploring Washington, DC, this is such a fun way to see the city! @teaaroundtownnyc is a moving tea party on a floral double-decker bus with amazing 360° views, live music, and a few delicious teas and treats to enjoy along the way.

☕️ The 90-minute ride lets you soak in some of DC’s best sights in a really unique, stylish way. Whether you pick the Luxe or Petite experience (starting around $75), you get a table with goodies to try and a cute souvenir tumbler to take home. Perfect for a chill afternoon out or a special occasion with friends. If you want to try something different for DC sightseeing, this is it! ✨

If you only do one thing outside in Northern Virgi

If you only do one thing outside in Northern Virginia this July — make it this. 🌻 I’ve gone to @burnsidefarms every single year because these sunflower fields are just that magical. Picture 70+ acres of blooms, rare sunflower varieties you’ve probably never seen before (red! white! bi-color!), and golden hour that turns the whole field into a dream. It’s the ultimate summer activity.

🎟️ Tickets start at $17+ and include 3 sunflowers 🌅 Sunflower Sunsets® every evening, 4PM–dusk 🎶 Live concerts every Saturday at 6PM — free with entry! 📅 Now through July 31 (weather could extend the season!)

Pro tip: Go early morning or just before sunset to beat the heat, wear comfy shoes, and don’t forget sunscreen. Burnside never disappoints 🌞💐
📍Nokesville, VA — just 40 miles from DC!

🌼🌸🌺 Nothing quite prepares you for seeing

🌼🌸🌺 Nothing quite prepares you for seeing this 37-foot floral sculpture in full bloom. @jeffkoons’ Split-Rocker is covered in more than 24,000 live plants that are replanted each year, blooming from May through October at @glenstonemuseum. It’s bold, surreal, and always evolving with the seasons.

I stopped by in May while the flowers were still being installed and knew I had to come back to see it fully blossomed — and it was absolutely worth it.

Planning a visit?
🕙 Open Thursday–Sunday, 10 PM–5 PM
🎟️ Free tickets required, released on the 1st of each month at 10 AM
👧 Visitors must be 12+
