Well, that was a year. Am I right? 

As we turn our calendars to 2021 we're feeling so much more hopeful that the end of the pandemic is in sight and are optimistic about a much brighter year ahead in Erie, Pa. So my family worked on creating a 2021 bucket list of fun things we want to do in Erie, Pa., in 2021, many of which we missed out on during 2020 because of COVID. 

I wanted to share it with you! 

Here's our list of  2021 family bucket list of family-friendly, post-pandemic fun in Erie (in no particular order!). We'll continue adding to it as the year goes on. What does your family have on their bucket list of family fun in Erie for the coming year?
