Hershey Trip

The first weekend in May Caleb had to present a poster at a conference in Hershey Pennsylvania. We decided to make a little family trip of it.

It was a fun trip. Hershey is a cute town and everything is related to Hershey's Chocolate. The street lamps are kisses, and all the street names are chocolate names. The main attraction is Hershey park, which is a huge amusement park. We did not go because Joshua and I both couldn't go on any of the rides. Instead we took the chocolate factory tour, and went to the zoo, botanical gardens, and museum.

The factory tour is a free ride, with singing cows and lots of chocolate. Joshua liked it so much that we went on it twice.

The Botanical gardens were really pretty. Joshua loved the children's garden. There was all sorts of fun activities for him to do.

Joshua and I went to the zoo by ourselves while Caleb was at his conference. It was a little zoo. Joshua liked pushing his stroller all by himself.

On our way out of town we went to Gettysburg. They have an amazing new museum and visitors center. It was pouring rain but was really great to see. On the way home we stayed at one of my mission companions houses. It was great to see her and her family, and get a needed break from the long drive. We also stocked up at Trader Joe's, my favorite grocery store. Overall it was a great little trip.
