day 3

Today was a great day!  We drove for a while through virginia, west virginia, maryland, and ended up in pennsylvania!  We went to hershey, pa to Hershey Chocolate World.  It was amazing.  The kids got to be "factory workers" where they got employee photo id's and got to make hershey kisses.  Then we got some of the best ice cream i've had in a long time.  Even john campbell got to have a couple licks...he was ticked that he didn't get more!  We went on a ride through a  fake Hershey Chocolate Factory that was geared toward little guys with singing cows and such.  This place was huge and they had everything chocolate you could imagine!  By the time we got to lancaster to see some amish country most everything was closed so we are going to go back through on our way home...we did see a few horse and carriages but all the shops and restaurants close by 8pm..we are really looking forward to seeing it in a few days.  Now we are headed to block island, rhode island to go to mohegan bluffs.  more tomorrow....

    Sounds like yall had a blast at the Hershey factory!! Yall will love Amish country too when you get to go back! Everytime we go to Ohio to visit family we make a trip to Amish country out there. Last time we were there Ava (the 4 yr old) got so excited when we got out of the car and there was a "real Amish man" walking on the street. She pointed and said (not quietly!) LOOK LOOK AN AMISH! Fortunately, he was tickled, bc sometimes theyre not. Have fun and eat LOTS of their desserts!
