Hershey Park

I had the greatest time on Sunday. Me, my husband, and my mom went to Hershey Park. We got the tickets for free from Chevrolet. They were giving out free tickets to anyone who owned a chevrolet or Pontiac, and we were lucky enough to score some tickets. We had such a blast. My husband doesn't like roller coasters, but my mom and I love them, so we rode quite a few of those, and then all three of us spent some time in the wave pool and riding water rides like the giant slides. One of the last rides we rode was called the Howler and it spins you in a circle and you can also spin yourself in a circle. Well, my husband loved that one but it made my mom and I nauseous. It's funny how certain rides bother certain people. We also all went up into the Kissing Tower and I got some really cool pictures. It was neat because the sun had just set, the rides were all lit up, and we were slowly spinning, so the pictures are a blur of colorful lights.

At about 2pm, we were relaxing in intertubes, floating down the lazy river when an announcement came through the park saying that all rides were closing due to inclement weather. What? It was sunny and beautiful! We decided to eat a picnic lunch in the car, and as we were walking to the car the thunder started. It came on so sudden! We got drenched in a downpour, but we eventually made it to the car and enjoy our lunch. It poured for about 2hrs, but we just chatted and took a little nap, and then when the rain finally stopped, a lot of people had left which made the lines much shorter.

The prices inside the park were surprisingly reasonable. Parking was only $10 for all day, and locker rentals were also only $10 for all day. Inside the Chocolate World gift shop, the candy was cheaper than at the supermarket, so needless to say we brought home a huge bag of Reeces Pieces (is there anything in the world tastier than Reeces Pieces?). So, that's the short story of our trip to Hershey Park this past weekend. We're probably going again in August, so I'll be sure to give you the highlights of that trip as well. In the meantime, what have you done this summer? What amusement parks have you gone to? What's fun to do with the family? Enjoy this beautiful summer weather.
