Our Summer Vacation 2009


We started our vacation by getting up early on Monday morning and driving to Hershey. We spent the day in the park. For those of you who have not been to Hershey, PA I highly recommend it! There are 11 roller-coasters and lots of other rides. There's even a waterpark, too! My personal favorite was a water ride called "East Coast Waterworks". We couldn't take pictures there, because we didn't have a waterproof camera. There was water spraying, pouring, and flowing everywhere! We were soaked! After the water park section, we dried off and enjoyed the other sections of the park - lunch, roller-coasters, a sea lion show, and of course, Chocolate World, where we got some free chocolate!

Monday night was spent in a hotel, then we got up on Tuesday to drive to Philadelphia. We saw the Liberty Bell - a historical landmark that I highly recommend, Independence Hall(the outside of it, anyway. The tours were sold out by the time we got there), Congress Hall, the Betsy Ross home, and the original printed versions of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

After a few hours in Philadelphia, we drove to Atlantic City for the next two nights of our vacation. We walked on the Boardwalk, ate at Johnny Rocket's and the Hard Rock Cafe, Nicholas rode go-carts, and we played on the beach. We had a great time!
