Driving in the Rain and Yummy Chocolate
|
Jul 14, 2008
It was hard to get up and around today. Just feeling the fatigue a bit after driving and sightseeing for two weeks. Oh well!We headed to Hershey, Pennsylvania today where the Hershey chocolate factory is as well as other cool attractions. It was so fun to drive along the streets where chocolate kiss streetlights mark the way. So cute!
Chocolate World was where we were headed which was right next to HersheyPark the amusement park that Hershey has. That looked fun, but we only had a couple of hours so we didn't do that. Instead we went on a small tour of how they make Hershey chocolate and then looked around at all the Hershey products, both edible and non-edible. I bought some cute Xmas ornaments in the shape of chocolate kisses.
We had two hours of free parking so we did everything pretty quickly. We had a yummy lunch and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Next time we might do the amusement park. So fun.
After Chocolate World we were faced with a LOOOONG (well, for the Staveleys, a long drive) across Pennsylvania into Ohio. It started raining not long into the trip and rained most of our drive through Pennsylvania which made things a little difficult especially with big trucks barrelling up beside you. The countryside was really pretty and we enjoyed going through the mountains. We think they were the Appalachians, but not sure.
We drove through a little bit of West Virginia too which was fun. That makes 10 states in 14 days. WHEW!! No wonder we are a bit tired. We stopped in Zanesville for the night before driving on to Indianapolis tomorrow. We might stop by the Longaberger Basket office building tomorrow as it is really unique. Anyway, more later. edit
