Chocolatetown

Well, we were finally able to get out of town for the weekend and went to visit my sister, Lynley, and her husband, Dan, in Hershey, PA. I was a little unsure how Tennyson would do on the 3-hour car ride since the last trip we took was right after Christmas, but he did surprisingly well. But he was definitely ready to be out of his carseat by the end of the 3 hours! I took this shot of a rainbow as we drove up. Not bad considering the car was going about 70 mph.


By the time we got to my sister's and unloaded most of our worldly possessions into their home it was time for the little guy to get to bed. (It's amazing how much stuff baby needs! Good thing my sister's house is roomy!)

Saturday was a super fun day! My friend, Lisa, and her family came over to my sister's house and then we all went to lunch at Isaac's, a yummy sandwich place, to celebrate Lisa's 29th birthday! (Crazy, huh? 29 again!) Next on the agenda, Chocolate World, a first for Lisa, Scott, and the kids.


Once inside Chocolate World we rode the ride which explains the wonderful and exciting journey cocoa beans take to become those confections we have come to love (Hershey Kisses, Kit Kats, Reeces, Mounds, etc.). Lynley carried Tennyson around and somehow he managed to sleep through almost all of Chocolate World. Upon leaving the ride you are directed to their giant store full of....yes, chocolate, but also candies, baked goods, and much more. A feast for the eyes and the waistline. Groan.

Please note his adorable "Hershey" shirt, purchased on a trip to Chocolate World last spring.)

After (reluctantly) leaving we all headed over to the Hotel Hershey. It was such a nice day and the flowers were in full bloom. We took lots of pictures in the gardens....

Can you tell our son does not like sitting in the grass? I think that will change in time.

This photo hardly does these gorgeous tulips justice.

How wonderful to make good family memories.
