Two more stops on our way home.

Before we left Pennsylvania, we stopped at two more places. First, was George's Furniture in the village of Maytown in Lancaster County. It was incredible. They took us in to the workshop and it was just impressive. One worker picks a piece and builds the entire thing. They have such talent and craftsmanship! I would love any piece from their shop! The rocking chairs are incredible, and untippable be George tipped in one when he was a kid and figured out a way to keep that from happening. Everything was so beautiful and solid wood!

The kids spotted this spider web touched with dew as we got out of the car.

All sorts of sizes in the rocking chairs.

They were amazing!

The next stop was in Hershey, PA to see the Hershey factory. Their free tour is a little ride that takes you through the process of making chocolate. I wanted to see how they made specific candies but  they didn't show that. I guess, maybe, you see that on the things you pay for - like making your own candy bar, or all the other things that they have available that we thought about but decided we just couldn't spend that much money. It was fun to walk through the sales area where they had so many options to pick from. I didn't know they made that many varieties of Twizzlers, nor have I ever seen a 1 pound kiss or giant candy bars. They sold boxes of candies and I was so tempted to buy some - especially Take 5. Anyway, it was a fun, quick stop.

Beautiful flowers that they had outside.

We made our way from there to Punderson State Park in Ohio (yes, that's the same place we stayed at on our way out to Massachusetts). We liked it so much we went there again, and even stayed in the very same camp site. We enjoyed dinner and fire and then went to bed. It was a fun filled day and I'm still dreaming of solid wood furniture!

Heading home with a stop in Pennsylvania

We decided to make some different stops on the way home. We found some places that had free tours and so we fit them in. The first stop was in Lititz at Wilbur Chocolate Company and Museum. We had hoped to watch them make stuff but we got there near closing time so they were all cleaned up. They did have a lot of chocolate history stuff and a video about where chocolate comes from and the process of making it, so it was still interesting. Kevin bought a bag of Wilbur Milk Chocolate Buds and then we were off. 

The camp ground was nice and quite. We had the end all to ourselves and enjoyed dinner and Smores. It was a good stop. Unfortunately, I didn't sleep well because I kept hearing things and my mind would create all manner of visions of what was happening outside my tent. Eventually Kevin and I got up to use the bathroom and I saw that nothing was disturbed so I put ear plugs in and slept much better for a few hours.
