My home town was 40 miles from Hershey (in PA).

We went there often, as there is a large amusement park, as well as a mock-up of the chocolate factory that you ride through on a little cable car type ride.

The streets of the town are named after Hershey candy products, and best of all...the whole town smells like chocolate!

When I was a kid they gave samples of candy to you after the factory ride, but not any more.

They also had HUGE chocolate bars for sale..probably 3 feet x 2 feet. I don't remember what they cost, but they were expensive.

Same with the Bourneville - home of Cadbury... and Cadbury World

I also took the family their when my kids were a bit younger but it didn’t interest my husband.

Sounds like great childhood memories!!

I’ll remember that! [emoji4]
Marco2Bear said the name of the plant that I couldn't quite remember. It's Virginia Creeper...but poison ivy also mimics other plants. Like bushes and such. Poison ivy always has 3 leaves on each leaf stem. If you find one with 2 or 4 it's not poison ivy.

Good mornooning, roommates!

I ran a half marathon (almost) on Saturday. Plus squats, exercises in patience, display of precision in social skills, orienteering, and significant brainwork... A photo marathon in other words. I literally walked 17 kilometers (10.6 miles) and did all of the above things.

Result:

1. I did it!!! [emoji123] So proud of myself, and suffering from muscle ache.

2. First place in one of the 12 categories. Will share my pictures soon.

I typed that wrong[emoji51]

It should of said, I almost took the family.
I'm not surprised your husband wasn't interested. Men don't seem to crave it like women do.

For men it's something to munch when there's nothing else. For us, it's an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY! [emoji854]
