We made it back from Hershey this afternoon. Whew!!! We had a lot of fun. Friday we dropped the dogs off at Moochie's in Hanover, they didn't seem to happy to be left anywhere without us but they made out fine. We headed for Lancaster and stopped at the outlets up there and then went on to Hershey. We ate dinner at the Hershey Pantry which was right next to our hotel and was very tiny (and by tiny I mean like the front porch of a house covered in with a low ceiling). The food was really good and Cammie really enjoyed looking around and being social. She met another little girl who was two months older than her but about half her size but she was a preemie born 14 weeks early (yikes!). They were both so cute touching each others hands and smiling. Saturday we went to Zooamerica (they were having free admission this weekend so what a deal). That was a lot of fun and Cammie liked looking around. It wasn't too terribly cold and the animals were all out. It was a neat little zoo, I had never been there before. After that we went to Chocolate World and Cammie slept through most of that, we went on the tour ride and then walked around and looked at all the CHOCOLATE!!! Yum! Of course we bought a few chocolate items, we tried to restrain ourselves. We went to the Hershey outlets and then ate dinner at Funcks (I know, I spelled it right!) Family Restaurant. It also snowed which was really pretty! Even prettier when it stopped!
Sunday we went back to Lancaster and spent some time cruising around, we drove to Strasberg and saw all the railroad stuff but didn't stop. We followed some Amish people (not intentionally) and wondered how cold they were. Their horses were so pretty! I would be a nervous wreck though if I had to ride in one of those little buggies with traffic whizzing past me. The whole Amish experience left us with a lot of questions that could not be answered by the For Richer or For Poorer movie. Sadly that is my only knowledge of Amish life and I think that may have embellished a bit for Hollywood. :o) I never saw the movie Witness, maybe that one would help! (and I do love me some Harrison Ford!)
Anyway, where was I? We headed back to Hershey after stalking the Amish and ate dinner at Fire Alley which was really good and then headed back to the room to pack (ugh) and watch the Amazing Race premiere (yay). We did succeed in wearing Cammie out, she has never slept better than she did while we were away. She took naps, fell asleep by 8 and slept all night. She was also so good while we were in the restaurants. She put up with a lot of getting in and out of the car and walking around and I think she had a really good time.
The puppies were really glad to see us and Moochie and Karen said they were very good for them. Pudge was a little stressed out, Bailey was OK, Clyde really probably didn't realize we were gone and Max did really well (and by this I mean, he sounded like he made out better than he does at home sometimes). I'm still trying to put everything away and make laundry piles. It's really surprising how much extra baggage a tiny little person causes you to bring. Gotta get back to work!! Hope everyone had a good Valentine's day and a great weekend!
Oh- we really didn't take a lot of pictures because it was so cold out but I do have some new ones to post soon.
