It was just another another road trip weekend. Our friends, Dee & Chris, came down from Connecticut to visit us. Although it was dreary and rainy, we still managed to do everything we planned. Somehow it seemed that we were eating the entire time? Upon their arrival, we immediately took them to Rita's for some famous Italian Water Ice & Mistos. Saturday we went to Hershey, PA and took a little Disney-like tour of how chocolate is made (complete with animatronic singing cows).
Towards the end of the tour they drug you by pumping chocolate scent through the air system, something snaps and you go crazy with the need for chocolate?! At the end of the ride, they dump you out into a store that sells every Hershey candy product known to man. And since we'd been hypnotized with chocolate air, the four of us scattered like rats and headed for the sweets, only to regroup with armloads of candy. Needless to say, the car ride from Hershey to Longwood Gardens (the 2nd destination of the day) made me feel like we were a bunch of renegade 7 yr-olds who just struck it rich on Halloween night....somehow Dee & I were too busy stuffing our face with chocolate that we totally missed the giant sign telling us a Pottery Barn outlet was in the vicinity. And would you believe our husbands both saw the billboard and conspired to keep quiet until we had passed the store. RASCALS!!
Longwood Gardens was (of course) the second destination and I took lots of pictures again. Surprise, surprise, I know....The tulips were out in full force....

This morning we toured the historic area and had a YUMMY cheesesteak before they headed back. So all in all it was a great weekend despite the rain!
