Frozen Chocolate
We’ve tried it at Easter, we have tried it at Halloween, so it only seemed right that we give it a shop and check out Christmas at Hershey. Of course we made these plans some time ago, but even then at the time, I mentioned to a few friends how we could almost bank on it snowing or something that weekend. I guess I shouldn’t have tempted fate, and now we are getting hit with snow. Here at home, closer to the ocean, we only got a couple of inches before it turned into rain, but the forecast for the weekend in Hershey,PA is not all that promising.
I’m not complaining really, I am really looking forward to seeing the Sweet Lights, a two mile drive through light display, LatteGirl is just about thrilled at the thought of playing in “Christmas” snow (I believe it was the magic of “Christmas Snow” that enabled Frosty to “un-melt” again if I am not mistaken) even if it does mean that Candy Cane Lane (the selection of rides at Hershey Park that are still open this time of year) is canceled , and of course TheWife once again will be treated to an afternoon at The Hershey Spa.
I am just hoping that I can actually get to the store this evening through the ice to pick up my new camera, to photgraph these travels, as I am hopeful that the snow will make for some great shots, because my current (hunk of junk) Kodak is just not up to the task.
I can’t help but wonder what I was thinking scheduling this so close to Xmas. I have shopping to do, and work to be done, and I don’t have time for this right now. It is frustrating in a way, and it seems like it will add more stress later, but the more that I think that I scheduled this at the “wrong” time, the more I also think that this is exactly the kind of break from the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

I think it sounds like a great time and what better time of year to visit a chocolate haven. I think the timing is awesome. Sounds like great fun. I hope y’all have a blast. Can’t wait to see pics.
We went to Hershey for my FIL’s 75 birthday 5 years ago. It was also winter, so none of the outdoor rides were open, but the Bean LOVED that indoor ride where they give everyone a Hershey Kiss. She wanted to go over and over again, and she wanted her brother to go too, because he hates chocolate
Smart girl.
I haven’t been to Hershey since I was a kid. Maybe I’ll bring up the spa and try to convince Clare’s Mom that we should try it.
