A trip back to State College is always special. We visit familiar sites. Eat familiar foods. Catch up with family and friends. Enjoy the tailgating. And cheer on the Nittany Lions. This time was all of that and more. We had the added pleasure of hosting friends and acting as ambassadors – and we loved it. Continue reading Happy Valley Hospitality!
The Whiteout. Most people who follow the sport will tell you that it’s the absolute best atmosphere in college football – maybe all sports. The visual of 110,000+ fans, the vast majority wearing white, is simply awesome. I’ve been to other Whiteouts.

I had the privilege of hosting my brother Wayne, sister Peg and brother-in-law Dave, for a quick trip to the desert recently. It’s been a while since they visited so we were looking forward to catching up. After their arrival late Saturday afternoon, we hung out at the house to catch the Penn State vs Ohio State game on TV.
