Need a rest now...

Hershey was wonderful! The Hotel was simply magnificent. It is old, but in an elegant way and updated where necessary. The grounds and gardens were just breathtaking. All this added to the special time we were all able to share on our family get-away (notice the absence of the word vacation).

Traveling with kids is never a vacation. It may be a vacation to them - no bed times, no schedules, no vegetables - but it is merely a change of environment for us older folks. There was still bath time, feeding time, nap time (for them, not us). We all enjoyed Hershey Park, Chocolate World, the pool, the side trip to Lancaster. We managed to squeeze 25 hours into each day! I fell asleep each night before Ally!!

We traveled with our kids when they were young - it was nothing like traveling with the grand-kids. Being a part of their everyday lives is such a privilege for us. I guess this is our bonus for making it through the teen years with our kids - ALL 5 TIMES!

What did you manage to do in Lancaster? I love it there!

We shopped and ate, what else would you expect? I would love to go back to Lancaster WITHOUT the tribe! We hadn't been there in years and there is so much more to do now.
