If you haven't heard about all of the rock groups hiding painted rocks for delighted neighbors to find this summer, you must be living under a rock…

Finding ways to get children engaged in nature as opposed to electronic devices can be quite the feat. I have made it my mission this summer to help my children find ways to explore local parks, nature preserves and other outdoor recreational areas. One noteworthy place we recently visited was Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve in New Hope…

From Elisa: Bristol now boasts a pier with two large floating docks with 32 boat slips and a fishing area near its iconic covered Wharf area. Boaters can now dock and get a bite to eat or some cold drinks, shop along Mill Street or Radcliffe Street, or attend one of Bristol's many festivals…

In 1776, General George Washington and his army marched through parts of Bucks County, but before they reached New Jersey for the historic Battle of Trenton, they had to make their way across the Delaware River through a wintry mix of snow and ice. Though these men had just experienced an incredibly tough loss in New York just a couple months prior, they never gave up.

This time of the year, a favorite past-time is to drive what I call “the Loop.” It’s a 50-mile, round-trip journey that hugs both sides of the Delaware River between Bucks County and New Jersey…

This is possible with technology using unmanned aerial vehicles, a.k.a., drones, but I wanted to show a different view of Bucks County by getting high in the sky while taking video, 360 Virtual Reality panoramas and photos of locations in Bucks County. Since some areas are no-fly zones for drones, the only solution to capture these images was to take them from a helicopter…
