My bf and I are from WV. He is currently going to school in PA located near Philly. He is a big fan of the countryside, and i thought it might be nice to take him somewhere to relax. The thing is, I dont know anything about PA, nor do i have a whole lot of money to spend. Could someone please help me out by telling me some nice, fairly inexpensive places to take him. Maybe like a ski resort or a state park with hotels near by or something like that. Thank you!

There are a lot of state parks and places to ski in eastern PA. Although I can't vouch for the state parks in winter. You might want to start with Pennsylvania's tourism site. You can search for things to do by geography and it's pretty comprehensive. There are also podcasts with suggestions.

It looks like everyone covered the outdoor aspects well. You might also try New Hope and Lambertville. They're on the Delaware River, New Hope is in PA, Lambertville is just across the small bridge from New Hope in NJ. The area has been a getaway spot for people from New York and Philadelphia for over a 100 years. It's really a fun place to spend a day or overnight...very walkable, even between the 2 towns, so you can park your car and leave it once you get there. Lots of shops, restaurants and walkable scenery. New Hope is the more crowded of the two, I prefer Lambertville. Check out the Boathouse Bar at Hamilton's Grill Room, right off the bridge...a great bar wedged into an upstairs area of an actual former boathouse...very comfortable and cozy place on a cold night.

There are constantly the Jersey and Delaware seashores to evaluate they're exciting an relatives oriented and many outdoorsy issues to do regardless of in case you basically have the opt to make it an afternoon out it fairly is exciting, Hike in the mountains a pair of days and sunlight and sand of the seashores for a pair of days. See the Cape would lighthouse, walk the boardwalks journey the rides and Water parks too.

Bucks County is gorgeous, lots to do, very historical, great driving roads. Make sure to stop in New Hope, and Lambertville in New Jersey (you can walk across the Delaware River bridge), great shops, restaurants, galleries, antiques and bed and breakfasts.
