2,376 miles, part 2

As I mentioned, our destination for this trip was Hershey, PA. Hershey is a cool little town east of Harrisburg, PA. As you can imagine, there is a lot of chocolate there, being the home of Hersey's chocolate, Hershey Park, Chocolate World, The Spa at Hershey Hotel, etc. Teresa found a good deal for us to stay at a resort there for a few nights (the only problem here was the room didn't have a fireplace and jacuzzi tub as the place showed on the web. We ended up in the building that DID NOT have that option. We complained but it didn't really matter to them, we didn't get another room.

It started to snow Saturday evening and it was beautiful. We got up Sunday morning and went to a little church called Community Bible Church in Palmyra. We arrived and it was snowing and the greeter said 'I see you brought the snow with you' and I smiled and said 'and we love it'. He looked at us like we had horns growing out of our head. We explained that we were from the south and liked the snow. Obviously, they don't like it that much!! The service was nice and there were about 300 people in attendance. We went to eat lunch and took another long drive around the area before heading back to a treat for us!!!

The snow continued off and on for the rest of Sunday so we went to the Spa and had a relaxing massage. You can spend a lot of time there visiting the 'relaxation room' and eat chocolate, visit the 'aroma therapy room' and eat chocolate or go to the 'quiet room' and eat chocolate. Lot's of chocolate everywhere!! This was our anniversary gift to each other (a little early). We wanted to go to the park but because of the rain nothing was really open. We rented a couple of movies and went back to the hotel to relax and stay warm again. The snow started coming down harder that evening and ended up accumulating about 2 inches worth.

On Monday we ate breakfast at a little family restaurant and struck out on the road to visit some of the little towns and cities nearby. We ended up in Reading, PA, a nice size town about 1 hour away from Hershey. We returned back to Hershey and decided to check out of the hotel the following morning and go to Philadelphia.

More to come....
