More Pictures from our Hershey Trip
We stayed at the Comfort Suites in Hummelstown, PA for our trip and we really liked the hotel. It was nice and clean, offered a great Continental breakfast, and had nice large rooms with two queen beds and a pullout sofa. I don't know about other families with thee kids but we often have a hard time finding a hotel that accommodate us.
My kids liked the pool the best and we spent each afternoon or evening sitting by the pool letting them swim and splash and play.
Evan asked if we could get a waffle maker like this one for our house. He really enjoyed having fresh waffles each morning.
Alec often sat alone at breakfast reading his book. He's so much like his mom! I can not go on vacation without bringing a few books along.
We drove past the Milton Hershey Middle School on a tram ride from the park to the parking lot. We could not get over the size of the school! It was huge and so very nice looking. The rocks in front spell out Welcome to Hershey
Once home I read up on Milton Hershey Middle School once we arrived home and was floored to read that is a zero tuition, private school set up for children living in poverty. What a wonderful concept!

The town of Hershey has lots of Hershey Kiss shaped street lamps; some silver and some brown.
