The other weekend Evan, Mike, Wang, Jared and I ended up in Hershey Heaven! Hershey PA!
Ok here's what I'd recommend if you're planning a day trip from DC... LEAVE EARLY. Traffic is a $%^%&$##@$#%$#$ and @#@$!# AND IT'S A @#$!#!@$!!!!!!
Enough said. But alas we were stuck in DC until the early afternoon because they guys all had a service project. ANywhO. What I would do is head to Intercourse PA- Amish Central Baby! They have some wicked shops and people drive around in buggies. The countryside is absolutely gorgeous too. Intercourse isn't too far out of the way to Hershey either so I'd plan on spending a good portion of your morning there. Don't forget to try the shoofly pie & be sure to take of photo of you on the edge of intercourse,
yes I'm still talking about the town.Now Hershey-
Eat here: http://chocolateavenuegrill.com/ and order Jess's favorite salad... YUM!
Then go into Hersheytown. I'd recommend the theme park first and then the Hershey Factory. No you can't really see them making chocolate but you get to learn all about how it's made as well as join in a chocolate taasting. 10.00 per person is a bit steep because you don't get a ton of candy but the experience was worth it once. You learn about different types of chocolate flavors and at the end you get a Master's Degree in Chocolate Tasting from the professor. Pretty fun!
If you get on the ride that takes you through the journey of a cacao bean make sure to smile at the end-
they take your photo & charge you an arm & a leg for it. The store has everything Hershey though and this was a very fun/informative/choco satisfying trip!
