For the past week we have been based in Hershey, PA, the last stop of our Pennsylvania visit. We have had a busy week of sightseeing. Our first excursion was to the Crayola Crayon Factory in Easton, PA. I wonder how many people have used Crayola Crayons in their lifetime? Of course Lenny and I were treated to a Happy Meal that day. One day Mom and Dad left us home and went to the Hershey Chocolate Story Museum. Dad is fascinated by the Hershey Kiss street lights on Chocolate Ave. On Thursday we had a long sightseeing day as we went to the Philadelphia area. We visited Hopewell Furnace, a self-contained plantation where they didn't grow crops but worked with iron ore and limestone. From there we went to Valley Forge to see where General Washington based his troops during the Revolutionary War. In Philadelphia, we visited Edgar Allan Poe's home, Independence Hall and saw the Liberty Bell. And of course, Lenny and I got our Happy Meals for lunch. It was a long day for us. On Friday, Mom and Dad left us home to rest up while they went to Gettysburg where they toured the battlefields and President Eisenhower's home and farm. Tomorrow we pull out and head to the Washington, D.C. area to visit Mom and Dad's nephew Mike, his wife Ester and their daughters Monica and Angela. Mom and Dad have also promised to show us some of the sights in Washington. It should be a fun time. Until then, take care.
