Chocolate!!!!

Yesterday (Wednesday), we traveled only 45 min. to reach chocolate heaven....Hershey, PA. Here's a few pics...

First entrance.

Second entrance.


We just got in the tour cars (think Willy Wonka) to see what this place is all about. So excited!
So much chocolate!
Brandon is really really excited.

Chocolate Ave....but the streets are made of asphalt. How lame is that?


Hershey Kiss street lights.

Little by little...

The dent in the truck.

The new kitchen table.

Kitchen

Master Bedroom...a little bare, but it's a start. Brandon hung blinds in all the upstairs rooms. He's pretty much a rock star at hanging blinds now.

Speaking of rock star, here's the office/tv room/rock band haven.

MOVING!!

On Thursday, May 29 we got in the Jeep at 5:45 AM to head to PA. Our goal was to make it to

Ephrata, PA which is about 15 miles from our current home. We drove straight through only stopping to pee and eat and gas. We rolled into the Hampton Inn at 10:15 Eastern Time. It was a BIG day. Check out the pics. We closed on our house on Friday and then had to wait for our stuff, which was going to show up between the next Saturday or the following Saturday. On Friday night we went to Lancaster and found a great Japanese restaurant and explored the city. Saturday we had our washer/dryer and fridge delivered but

there was a slight problem...the refrigerator was too big. So in the

afternoon we drove to Pottstown and picked out a new one which was delivered on Sunday. Also on Sunday the truck was delivered. We were glad to see it, but there was a large dent and scratch on the top of the cab. The driver admitted to doing it so it wasn't too big of a deal, but

still something to deal with. Monday-Wednesday we did a lot of shopping (we still didn't know when our things would be delivered).

On Thursday we went hiking at French Creek State Park which is about 25 minutes away. It was a good time, the forest is very different here than in MO. Can't really say why, but it is just different. Different smells, sounds, dirt, just different. Friday morning we finally got our things and have been unpacking since. It's good to sleep on something other than an air mattress.
