It is Papa`s Birthday!!! Nana was feeling a little better today so she was ready to go to the Hershey World and tour Gettysburg. First we went on a tour ride at Hershey World then sampled the chocolates. We saw an Amish family visiting too. After lunch, we headed over to the Hershey Museum. We got to pretend that we were applying to be factory workers by learning to grind the beans & roast them, push along factory carts, pounded out chocolate bars from the molds then pack the bars into boxes. Nana & I were hired in Wrapping Department and paid ten cents per pound box of Kisses wrapped. Papa was hired to work in the Roasting Department and paid fifteen cents per hour. After visiting the town of Hershey, we headed to Gettysburg, PA. We visited the National Visitor Center & Bookstore where we bought audio car tour cds so we could drive & tour the different battlefields. We were amazed by the number of statues and memorials around this area. There was so much to see and take in. There was 16 stops in all and it took us at least 2 hours to see everything. After our visit to Gettysburg, we headed south into Maryland. As we headed into Maryland, we passed the Mason Dixon Line. We are staying the night in a little cute town (Hagerstown, Maryland) off the main highway (I-81 S).
You are so awesome for sharing this with all of us!! It looks like you are having a lot of fun too! :)
