Hershey Park!

We had an AWESOME weekend last week at Hershey Park! We have all been so busy and overworked and were really looking for some time away from the city. I got an awesome deal on a hotel room ($20 a night!) about 20 minutes from the park. The park is open on weekend through Halloween, and tickets are 50% off there too. So, we decided to make a weekend of it! Ashley, Cupcake, Linda, Bonita and I left on Friday night and had a lot of fun going out to eat ice cream, laughing and being silly in the hotel room.



The park didn't open until 2:00 on Saturday. Our first plan was to get up and maybe see some sights before going to the park. We couldn't really find something that we all wanted to do, so we decided to just wake up whenever, hang out at the hotel, go to lunch and then head to the park. That turned out to be the perfect plan since we all slept in until after 10 a.m.! None of us realized that we were that tired!

After we all got ready, we went out to a delicious lunch, where they had some fun things for us to take pictures with (I have uploaded all of these and more onto my phanfare site!).



Finally, after we were all full, we went to Hershey Park. We had SO much fun!! There were very few people there, so there were basically no lines for any of the rides. We hit all the major roller coasters in the first 2 hours! It was awesome!! By about 7:30, though, we were all exhausted. At first we couldn't figure out why. Usually we are at Hershey Park from 9 a.m.-10 p.m. and are totally fine! Then we realized, we usually have more time between rides and we usually take a break for lunch and dinner when we are there all day. We didn't do either and I think that wiped us out. It was good timing, though. We had already ridden all the rides and were kinda ready to relax. It had rained a little too, so we were kinda wet and getting cold. So, we got back in the car, grabbed some dinner and went back to the hotel.


Since it was Halloween we had the plan to curl up under the covers and watch scary movies together. However, once we were all in our pajamas and curled up in bed, we all fell immediately asleep. Maybe we were all even more overworked than we thought!

I had to lead Children's Church the next day, so we packed up and left around 9 a.m. (not too early) so we could be back in time for church.

So, it wasn't an incredibly long trip, but it was A LOT of fun. We still have some coupons for the same hotel, so we are hoping to go again in the Spring!!
