Hershey Park

Well, we did it.  We left the campground and took the kids to Hershey Park!  It was indeed the sweetest place on earth!  I don't know what I was expecting.  The town is quaint and all the houses are manicured perfectly and have white picket fences.  The street names are Chocolate Avenue, Cocoa Avenue,  and even the light posts are hershey kisses!!  We left early in the morning and stopped at this little hole in the wall breakfast place.  First off, we were starving.  Second, the kids were in rare, and I mean, rare form.  We already had to deal with the attitudes and now we were dealing with starving attitudes.  But for some reason, at breakfast, they decided to get silly and could not reel it in.   Which in turn made Scott start laughing.  All this is happening while I am being glared down, I mean stared down, by this older German woman with her hair in a bun who looked like she had not laughed OR cracked a smile in at least 10 years.  And she is staring at me with this condescending/shame on you glare for not having my family under control.  Part of me wanted to ask her what was she looking at but before I got the chance, she chose to pick up her newspaper and simply hold it up in front of her face so she could not see us any further.  We are OBVIOUSLY Englishers with unruly kids in this Amish/German culture!!!   At least that is what Beverly Lewis would write in one of her Amish books.   After breakfast, we arrived at Hershey and let me start with this.  The smell of chocolate DOES NOT exist.  The making of chocolate has been OUTSOURCED to different areas, maybe even China, so I did not have the pleasure of smelling chocolate all day.  Big disappointment.  But other than that, everything was dandy like candy!!!   And there is a difference between THEME park and AMUSEMENT park.  Hershey is an amusement park and it was really worth the time and money.  It was so cool ... we loved it!!!
