Hershey's Chocolate World

There is a lot to do in Hershey Pennsylvania - Hershey's Chocolate World - is a super fun place to visit.
Chocolate World sells baked goods, gift items and is a candy shop on steroids.


The sky was almost as pretty as the sign...

this was a real mobile vehicle.


It was late in the day when we visited Chocolate World 
and we were about the only ones there.
A great time for taking pictures...had we visited earlier in the day, the place would have been packed.



It was so pretty and colorful when we visited, still decorated for Easter.


Inside they have a ride you can go on and learn how chocolate is made.
When our boys were little, we came here a couple times a year.
I have enjoyed this ride a "million" times and it has not changed one bit in the past 20 years.









We had some good laughs!




Even though we have been here a "million" times.
we still had a great time!!

Zoo America

We visited Zoo America one of the days we were in Hershey.
It was warm, 75 degrees-ish.
Beautiful clouds hid the sun and that was the perfect formula for a day outside.
Zoo America is well kept, very clean and they are involved in the conservation of wildlife.
The zoo participates in 11 or more Species Survival Programs. 


This entire mural was created by the students at Milton Hershey School it is incredibly beautiful
