We went to Hershey Park in Hershey, PA on what seemed like the hottest day of the summer!! At the end of the day, the thermometer on our car's dashboard screamed 102!
When we first arrived, we teamed up with a little girl (Lily) and her grandparents so our girls could ride the rides together. They were so cute! Claire went on a bunch of the kiddie rides and she enjoyed each and every one of them! Luckily, there were hardly any lines because it was the first day of school for many districts. As we walked to the bigger rides, we each took turns riding with Claire. One of our favorite (air conditioned!) rides was the Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge.
Since it was my first time there, I didn't realize how big the park was, so I left our bathing suits and towels in the car and figured one of us would run out and get them when we wanted to go on the water rides. Big mistake. By the time we were far into the park, I realized that it was too hot and too far to walk all the way back out to the parking lot. Next time we will bring a stroller to carry everything!
We had dinner at a GREAT, kid-friendly restaurant (The Chocolate Avenue Grill) and spent the night at a local hotel where we swam in the indoor pool.
All in all it was a great mini vacation!!!!
