After a late night we made it to Hersheypark just one hour after they opened at noon. The park has huge roller coasters, but Andy would like to introduce the theme for our trip as "Closed for the Winter." It was their special Christmas celebration, but alas all of the big coasters were closed. Instead there were a few large carnival style rides and lots of kid friendly rides. The Christmas decorations and light shows were beautiful, but Andy kept asking what happened to Thanksgiving. We had dinner next to the park at Chocolate World and saw how Hershey makes all the great candy we love. At the The Hershey Story museum the next morning we learned all about Milton Hershey, how he revolutionized candy making and his idea to build a perfect factory town. It seems like a great place to live, but for some reason the movie Stepford Wives kept popping into my head.

| It really is a chocolate world. Even the streetlights in downtown Hershey are little Hershey Kisses of big, big chocolate. |
