On Monday Tom and I both took the day off to spend some time at Hershey Park. It was my first trip and I was super excited because I'd heard so many fun things about it. It did not disappoint! Mostly we walked around and people watched and rode a few rides; the ferris wheel, the swings, the old-timey cars. Tom doesn't really do roller coasters but he was a real trooper and rode the Comet with me. Like I said before, I'm a bit of a roller coaster junkie and Hershey Park has a ton of them, but I only rode the Comet and the Storm Chaser. Whoa... the Storm Chaser. Let's just say I had no idea what I was getting myself into with that one. It shoots you like a rocket from 0 to 72 mph in two seconds! Then up 18 stories, then straight back down. Then a loop and some barrel rolls. Then I thought I was going to pass out. Seriously, my hands were numb when I got off the ride!
After that, I was all roller-coastered out so we ate a nutritious lunch of cheese fries and funnel cakes and headed over to Chocolate World. It was all I expected it to be! It's mostly a super corny ride complete with creepy animatronic cows singing about the virtues of milk chocolate. Then they let you off into a huge gift shop filled to the brim with every sort of chocolate treat you can think of. On our way out, we were stopped by a guy that asked us a few strange questions and then told us we had been chosen to do a secret taste test of a new product! That pretty much made my day. We were escorted to a back room and given saltine crackers and water to eat to cleanse our palette. Then we had to eat a new kind of chocolate and give our feedback. It was really good!

I'm afraid I don't do very well on rides either. Oh but I wish I did, they always look like such fun!
(love your outfit, by the way! Of course.)
Sounds like a good day to me.
oo I love hershey park, haven't been in a few years, but they have some fun rides! I love the dueling wooden coasters and the Great Bear, footless coaster, so fun!
I LOVE Hershey Park, my friends and I used to go camping on their campground every year right after school let out, wow we had a ball! Next time you go check out the Lightning Racers, that's such a fun ride!
Fun!! We just had the Rose Festival in Portland and I totally missed out on the ferris wheel... bummmerrr! Maybe next time. Is your outfit a romper? I like the mellow stripes!
Went to Hershey a couple of summers ago with the beau. It was lots of fun but we never went to the park. We might have to go back.
This was such a delightful post! Tom looks like about the happiest guy on earth in these shots :) That is so cool about tasting the chocolate too - and in Hershey! How apropos!
I remember I did a taste test my freshman year of college for $25 - a fortune then! We weren't lucky enough to get chocolate though - we got a new flavor of Corn Nuts that was positively dreadful. All in the name of science I guess...
Now I wish I had gone to Hershey Park when I lived in PA! (not to mention, did more thrift/vintage shopping) You two look like you had a ton of fun. Love amusement parks.
Lovely pictures, looks like so much fun!!!

It is nice to see you in my own stomping grounds. I worked at the park the last few summers on the costumes, it is so nice to see you there having fun. Amazing photos! Going there next weekend. hope i have as much fun as you did.
Sounds like so much fun. You two look adorable!
I don't know if I would have followed the creepy guy asking creepy questions into a back room, though. Sounds too horror story for me, but then again, it was for chocolate...
