Hershey Gardens- Hershey, PA




This is a view of the city from
Hershey Gardens. You can
see the smoke stacks from the
factory in the background.




Aaron loved the butterfly garden. He wanted
to touch a butterfly but when one landed on
him...

He freaked out!







Hershey Chocolate World




The are 1lb Reese's cups... I love
reese's but this kind of made me
want to throw up

Around Amish Country

Here are a few scenes from around the
farmhouse in Amish Country


A typical drive has these kinds of views

Narvon, PA

3 days and 20 + hrs of driving later....

we finally made it to our farm house!

Rock City- Chatanooga TN

We also went to Rocky City on our
trip while in TN. We really liked it and were
very tired afterwards. There were alot of
stairs but really great views.


Trying on the Knome Cap








Pop Pop on the swing bridge...
I was too chicken to try so I took
the stone bridge










Going into Fat Man Squeeze




Suck it in Pop Pop

Chatanooga CHOO CHOO hotel

We didn't have reservations for a
hotel in Chatanooga which was a mistake
since there was a huge softball
thing going on and the only
hotel we could find was the
historic Chatanooga Choo Choo hotel.

Aaron was thrilled about all the trains.




The lobby of the hotel... used to be the train
station







Chatanooga Aquarium

We made it to Chatanooga TN with enough
time to also visit the aquarium. AND a man was
nice enough to give us his member tickets on the
way in so we got in for free. A savings of $100!


Pop Pop and Aaron check out the fish


Petting the salamandor


Looking that the HUGE sea turtle
