The Hershey Factory and Gettysburg

Jillian: We went to the Hershey Chocolate Factory. It was tempting to walk around the rows and rows full of chocolate. We went on a ride that showed just how they make Hershey's chocolate. We saw two big vats full of chocoalte. We did the ride two times! When we finally got off the ride a man gave us each a fresh chocolate bar. It was still hot.

Sam: The day before yesterday we visited the Hershey's factory. It has a ride showing how they make chocolate.
        There was a store full of chocolate up the ceiling, it was dizzying! The temptation was harsh.
       We also visited Gettysburg. We ate at the Lincoln Diner which was made like a railroad car. The diner was named for Abraham Lincoln who made a famous three minute speech in Gettysburg. There was a ton of massive monuments to the Union and Confederate soldiers who died there. The cannons were still there with mounds of dirt and grass around them to protect them. It was hard to believe that it was a battleground from the Civil War.




We are a couple of days behind on our blog - we're in South Carolina tonight and will catch up on our posts soon!
