A World Made of Chocolate!


You can't go to Hershey, PA without stopping at Hershey's Chocolate World. We saw a 3-D show, took a trolley ride to learn the history of the town (did you know that Herhey, PA doesn't really exist? It's actually called Derry Township!) and the company, and ate lots of chocolate.

If you ever go to Hershey, this ride is worth the money. We learned lots about the company and the man behind it. Milton Hershey was extremely generous to his employees and the children who attended his school (the school still exists today...check it out!). On the trolley ride alone, we received 3 different kinds of Kisses to try and a full-size Herhsey milk-chocolate bar.

Yes, the streetlights really look like Hershey Kisses...here they are at the intersection of Cocoa and Chocolate Ave.




One highlight of vacation was watching Emmaline in the pool. She loved splashing and kicking in the water and was constantly laughing and squealing with delight!
