For Christmas, we gave Talli a trip to Hershey Park in Hershey, Pa. She redeemed her gift certificate on August 13 and 14. Off we went to the amusement/water park! Fortunately the weather was fairly cool so we skipped the water park. Talli is a roller coaster kind of girl and I am not! So Bill and Talli rode one of the "gentler" roller coasters. I rode the choo-choo train and the ferris wheel! And all of us ate too much caramel popcorn. I embarrassed Talli as much as possible by screaming as loudly as possible on the slow easy rides!

 

The second day, we went on the Hershey Chocolate Tour which was great fun! Here we are arriving at Hershey Chocolate.

 

Next a 4D movie and posing as our favorite Hershey candies.

 

We took a bus tour through the town and finished with a chocolate tasting, making our own candy bars and designing the packaging labels. Here are the pleased with ourselves candy makers who agreed we had had enough chocolate for the day!!

 

 

On the way home, we stopped at Gettysburg National Park where we took an audio car tour of the battlefields. It was sobering to view and walk on the very ground where so many were injured and died during the Civil War.

 

We're approaching the end of our "year on the road" and have a few more days here in Silver Spring before returning to Atlanta. I'm happy to have kept this blog as a record of our time with children and grandchildren.

 

More later,
