A great getaway weekend

Hershey PA!!

Darin had to work in Harrisburg PA, which isn't too far from Hershey, so we decided to join him for a long weekend. We love to go to Hershey and Lancaster, but this time we added some new fun things to our list. We of course went to Chocolate World and and did the tour a couple times. Who can resist singing cows and some chocolate at the end. Not to mention the smell of chocolate while on the ride. They were giving out "Bliss" at the end, which were just that!!

This time we decided to try th 3D show they have. It was really good-we liked it. The kids loved glasses. The good thing was that even if they didn't wear the glasses, they were entertained. At times it was a little loud for Jordan, and if she was a little taller she wouldn't have been happy about the puffs of air at your feet, but over all they loved it. I would recommend it.
How many people would it take to finish this chocolate bar?


We added Hershe Gardens to our trip this time. Highly recommended. The plants and flowers are beautiful, and it sits up on a bit hill overlooking Hershey Park. You can hear the screams as people go on the roller coasters.


The best part is the children's garden. There were tons of little activities for the kids, and they especially loved the butterfly house. There were lots of butterflies to see up close so everyone loved it. One lady had a few land on her and kids thought it was really cool. Another nice thing about Hershey Gardes was a really nice little picnic area outside the entrance. We had a nice picnic lunch. I would really recommend this place if you take a trip to Hershey.
