We had the best time in Hershey, PA!! We turned down Cocoa Avenue around 5:30pm, just in time to meet everyone at the house and leave for dinner at Bob Evans - a family tradition when we are with Grandma and Grandpa Swope.Later that evening we headed to Hershey Amusement Park and surveyed the land in preparation for our all-day excursion on Saturday that would include 7 adults and 8 kids! JJ wanted to check out the new roller coasters and of course w
e had to go up to the top of the Kissing Tower. The kids had never been on it before and it was neat to watch them looking out into the night sky and see "Chocolate Town" glistening in the lights.We rode the kiddie cars, the TrailBlazer mini-roller coaster (5 times, but who was counting?). Grandma and Grandpa thought the park closed at 10pm but when we got there we heard they were open until 11pm - so we stayed until they kicked us out. JJ's mom was waiting up for us when we got back to the house. We felt like teenagers!
On our way out of the park, we stopped to take a picture with the Great American Chocolate Bar! Then we walked down Chocolate Avenue under street lights that have Hershey Kiss-shaped lanterns. It was like going back in time for JJ to be able to share so many of his favorite pastimes with our boys. I'll share more photos and details from our vacation as soon as I get through the mountains of laundry and refill our refrigerator with food while I indulge in some Truffel-filled Hershey dark chocolate kisses!

Renee,
I enjoyed reading about your trip to Hershey. I grew up there and now live in Shippensburg - about an hour away from Hershey. I attended the She Speaks conference this year and was truly blessed by it. I just am learning about blogging and saw your post in June in regards to your mother. I pray she is doing well. Thanks for the ministry you provide to so many through Proverbs 31. God bless.
Jodie W.
