Visit to Happy Valley - aka. Penn State Land

Last weekend we went up and visited the State College area. Michael fly fishes up here all the time and has always said how beautiful it is. I wanted to see for myself so we checked it out. It is about 3 hours north of us and was a beautiful drive through the mountains. There isn't much around State College... lots of farm land and open space. But the Nittany Mountains - what more could you ask for? They are postcard perfect! We checked out the river and a fishery (which Abraham was more interested in swimming in then seeing the fishies!)
It was just a nice time to be a family and to hang out. We don't get much time like that.
Oh yea, in case you are wondering - JoePa is Joe Paterno who is the head football coach for Penn State. He is like a god up there. Donated tons of money to PSU. He has coached for 42 seasons in a row... there isn't much more room on the memorial for his season plaques. He'll have to retire soon I guess!
