Well we started off today by taking a few pictures of the campground grist mill and covered bridge. There are so many things to see here I think we will be extending our stay a few extra days. From there we went to Hershey Pennsylvania to visit The Hershey Chocolate Museum. We did the "Chocolate Lab" tour, where we all learned about the Cacao beans and where they are grown. Then we got to taste all the beans from different parts of the world. At the end we all were able to make our own candy bar! This would be the reason we are wearing the stylish hair nets! Boy I picked a day to let the goatee grow out! After the lab, we went over to "Chocolate World" and rode an amusement ride similar to "Pirates of the Caribbean", but all about chocolate production. Everyone enjoyed the ride! On the way home, we went to the Intercourse Pretzel Factory, where the kids got a brief tour on how to roll and twist the dough to make pretzels. This was a good time for me to take a short bench break and watch all the Amish ride from place to place in their horse and buggies. As the day winded down we headed back to the campsite and cooked some brats and locally made sweet sausage on the grill for dinner. Right before we sat down at the picnic table to eat dinner the Amish people came into campground selling home baked goods and quilts! I thought some home made root beer and pumpkin bread we be good for an after dinner snack!
Chris, you're doing a great job updating the trip... really enjoying reading about everything y'all are seeing and doing! Good look with the double hair nets!
