Bravo! This was such an enjoyable read. My daughter perused one trip report by a teen girl awhile back, but, by how she described it, I believe it was mostly about cupcakes. Now, I am in no way opposed to cupcakes, but the content in your report was absolutely sublime, and your family is beautiful.
Thanks! Perhaps I'm missing a key demographic by not talking enough about cupcakes?
Speaking of teen girls.....princessandpascal is NOT a teen (anymore), but she's not far out from those years, and her new
TR is absolutely hilarious. You should check it out.
...we decided to mix it up and traveled a bit further each summer (California, Hawaii, etc).
By that, I'm assuming you mean DL and Aulani?
...But first, a few more college visits on tap for our second oldest son. He wants to visit Lehigh in June...any recommendations for a nice place to have dinner near the University?
If you have to ask that, I question if you actually read my Trip Report. Perhaps I need to wear MORE Bethlehem Brew Works shirts on our upcoming trip, in order to get the message across!
BBW is on the other side of the bridge from Lehigh, though, so I'll cut you some slack and assume you want to eat closer to the campus
Lots of choices. If you like sushi, 24 East is the absolute best I've had anywhere, IMO. General Zapatas has fantastic tacos, though it's a hole-in-the-wall, and the service can be hit-or-miss. Tulum is another great Mexican restaurant, but also small.
If you venture away from campus and toward downtown, Apollo, which is slightly more upscale (though I still go there in jeans), has excellent food, and would be my top pick if you want something nicer. Mama Nina's on Main Street supposedly has great Italian food, but I've never been there. The place is always packed.
There are also some nice places at the casino (which kids under 21 can get to), but they're really pricey, so we generally try to avoid them.
I'll ask Kristin if she has any more suggestions, since she used to work on the South Side (where Lehigh is).
We really love this area, which will make the eventual move to Florida (still years away) more difficult
