Family Trip to PA, Part 4



We headed over to Hershey on Tuesday morning.  It took a little over two hours to get there, but we drove through some beautiful countryside on the way.  We were happy to arrive at the lovely Hotel Hershey right at lunchtime.
We checked in and decided to explore the hotel just a little and head over to one of the restaurants for lunch.  It was pretty yummy!


 The girls enjoyed the rocking chairs outside the restaurant.
 We had some playground time too so the girls could get a little energy out after sitting in the car and then at lunch.  They had a great time playing together.
 Enjoying the beautiful fountains.
 After resting in our room for a little while, we decided to walk over to Hershey Gardens.  They were beautiful!  Here's a view of the hotel from the gardens.
 I loved this sweet little statue.
 The girls enjoyed the musical part of the children's garden.  They loved this in-ground xylophone to jump all over.
Exploring the gardens.
 So many beautiful flowers.



Running through the rose archways.
 Enjoying the butterfly bench.
 Kiss fountains.  One of them misted on Mia's hand, and she jumped; we all cracked up!
 The butterfly garden area was fascinating!

 Love my sweet girls.
 We ended the day at the hotel's pool.  We were told it would be a nice 80 degrees in the water...not so much.  We still had fun though!  They had a fun twisty slide that I enjoyed.  Lily didn't want to try it, and Mia was a little too small for it, so they just hung out in the shallow end having fun in the mushroom fountain.  Ryan visited the adults only area and loved the infinity hot tub.
We decided on room service for dinner so we could relax.  I ordered this Reece's peanut butter pie for dessert.  Yum!
 This was a fun start to our time in Hershey!
