Family Vacation Day 6 - Hershey and York

We started our last day with New York Bagels, stopped at Hershey to create our own chocolate bars, and ended the night with friends in York.
So many different flavors of cream cheese. Ayla and I
both tried the Nutella one.

Love and miss you, Opa!








Photo op!


Being silly!


Ready and excited to make our own Hershey bars.



We got to choose the type of chocolate (white, milk, or
dark) and add up to 3 fillings.




Waiting in line for our chocolate to be made.

















You could see what everyone decided to add to their 
chocolate bar.




We even got to design our own wrapper. Ayla and I 
decided to use a premade design.


Mommy made her own and added a red bird (cardinal)
for Opa, since it was his birthday the day we went.


We had fun exploring the huge store.




I bought a bear and named him, Reese Cup.


A quick stop at Troegs Brewing.



All of our wrapper designs.


A fun photo op in York.


Ayla and Mommy shared a cheese less pizza.


Ayla found one York Peppermint Patty in the hotel
candy jars.


We all split the York Peppermint Patty for Opa's birthday.

We had a super fun vacation with lots of adventures and sight-seeting.

Family Vacation Day 5 - Vermont and Rhode Island

This day was a rainy one! We had high hopes of visiting a creamery and taking a nice family photo with a scenic background. That didn't happen but we did enjoy breakfast with real maple syrup. We also tried different maple syrup at a General Store, which was a lot of fun.





All dressed up for a family photo.


Not the picturesque background we had envisioned.
Haha!




Maple syrup tasting at the general store.













Mommy and Daddy even tried some liquor with maple
syrup in it.




We stopped at a brewery in Rhode Island.




The hotel pool had a slide. If you look closely, you 
can see Hayden at the top.
