During Jordan's spring break last week we drove to Hershey, Pennsylvania.
We were surprised at how pretty Pennsylvania country was. For you Texans, it felt a little like Arkansas. Add a little more green to the grass, a little more undulation to the hills, take away the rednecks and sprinkle in some Amish---you're there.
If there is a polar opposite of New York City, it is Hershey, Pennsylvania. It felt right out of The Truman Show or Leave It To Beaver. We never saw a cop during the 4 days we were there. I can't imagine they have one. And the 12,000 people that lived there smiled bright, chocolately smiles. Seriously---it was kind of weird.
We stayed at the Hershey Lodge, swam a lot in the indoor pool, ate good food, and spent an entire day at Chocolate World. We figured we were in Hershey---no sense in limiting the consumption of chocolate by anyone in the family. Sam's diapers literally smelled like Kisses.
We went to a K-Mart and a Target. It was entirely too comforting for Christine. Entirely!
It felt so great to get out as a family. It was a beautiful place.
