Weekend Off at Bushkill Falls.

Everyone always looks forward to weekends, when they can spend time with their families or friends, or even just to laze around at home. However, it is very rare for me and my husband to have to same weekend off together because of our work. It is consider good enough if we can just have one same weekend off in a month, for sometimes we don't for three months or so.

A couple weeks ago, when we both happened to be off, I caught cold. We could not go anywhere, and instead I just stayed at home, and laid on bed almost the whole day. I was so irritated since I had planned to go hiking that day.

However, God is truly good. Hubby's last weekend job suddenly got cancelled. And it was my weekend off also from work, which means we both were free!!!!!

I browsed around the internet and asked people for good place to go during just for a day trip. I love to go to places where I can enjoy the nature. Since it's already end of summer. Then we found this place in Bushkill, PA, where we can hike and also enjoy the waterfalls. Sounds great!!

Saturday at 8 am, we woke up - can't do earlier than that since we both got home from work very late everyday. We left the house by 9:30ish, and stopped by at DD in NJ on the way there for quick breakfast, then pumped gas at Costco when we about to reached PA, which all took us about an hour or so. We got to Bushkill around 12:30pm. And the weather, which was predicted to rain, turned out to be perfect.

Here some pictures we took at Bushkill Falls, PA.

We chose the red trail - it was only 2.5 hours total.

Cool entrance to the trails. Don't you think?

Bushkill Falls is also known as the Niagara of Pennsylvania. There are supposed to be about 10 falls or so, if I am not mistaken. But I only saw 5.

Bridal Veil Falls

Trying to take a selfie, but always failed

Second falls - The Bridesmaid Falls

Third falls - short but beautiful

The wooden trail along the river

Right outside of the entrance / exit, there is a maze. It's pretty fun to explore if you are not afraid to get lost. hehe.

Hubby got lost. hahaha

We ended our trip with dinner at a Mongolian buffet. It is about 15 mins drive from Bushkill Falls. I first time tried Mongolian buffet in Utah or Colorado. (sorry, can't even remember exactly) And I had pretty good impression of it. The price was decent, and the food was good, if only you like noodles. However, this type of buffet is somehow no where to be found in NYC or nearby. So, when hubby saw this at YELP. we both got very excited. It was $12/person for lunch, and $15/person for dinner.

If you don't know, Mongolian buffet is a buffet where you choose all ingredients starting from the noodles, meat, veggies, and sauces, according to your likings. Then you bring them to the chef, and they will cook it right in front of you.
