Hershey Park

We had the most amazing weekend in Hershey Park.  We were lucky enough to be joined by our beach friends Theresa, Dave & Madeline (family 1) and Don, Holly, Sam and Chloe (family 2) and by our friend Sarah Kang who rode with us.  We all stayed at the fabulous Hotel Hershey and in 36 hours it felt like we enjoyed so much that Hershey has to offer.  We started with fantastic food at the Hershey Pantry, then hit Chocolate World where the kids got to make their own chocolate bars, complete with designing their own packaging.  Then it was off to check into the hotel, go swimming, come back to milk and cookies in our room and then we headed out to enjoy the Christmas light exhibit they put up.  Absolutely fabulous.  Finally we grabbed bear and food at Troegs brewery.  Lily fell asleep at the restaurant at 8pm.  It wasn't from the beer I promise.  The next morning we woke up and headed to have a grand buffet at the Circular restaurant.  Then it was off to Hershey Park.  While it was cold the upside was no crowds or lines.  We finally headed home about 4pm after another fantastic day.  I can't say enough about what a great all around experience it was.  Complete with wine at the pool!
