Go to Hershey!
We just got back from Hershey Park and what a great time it was!
If you’ve never gone- Go!
The drive is EASY from the DC area: just get on 270 and drive straight, I mean it. 270 becomes 40, and 40 becomes 15, you then make 1 exit and that’s it, until you see signs for Hershey Park. It takes 2 hours, with no traffic, 2 hours and 15 minutes with traffic… it’s SO EASY!
They’ve expanded their waterpark, it now contains a big wave pool, with cabanas, and a lazy river ride.
We were there for 2 days and didn’t even take our bathing suits, if you want to do the waterpark stuff- devote a whole day to it.
AND YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT ELSE IS NEW?! There are touchless hand sanitizers at the entrance to every kiddie ride: you just put your hands under the box and it sprays your hands with hand sanitizer… BEST IDEA EVER !!!!!
And the bathrooms- because Moms care about this:
All the bathrooms have touchless soap dispensers, touchless water faucets, and touchless paper towel machines !!!!!!! YEY !!!! No germs, or almost no germs!
If you can go on a weekday- DO IT! We went on Thursday and there were no lines for rides; by Friday, there were lines, but still do-able. I wouldn’t even attempt to go on a Saturday, it must be So crowded.
Next year we’re going on a Monday and Tuesday.

YEY- go to Hershey- the sweetest place on earth !!!

Awesome! Hopefully you indulged in a little chocolate, too! My mom and sister are going to take Lucas in a few weeks, on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thanks for the tips and discounts! We keep meaning to go but haven’t yet. I’ve also heard that fall is a great time to visit!
My family loves Hershey and it smells oh so good there. Every summer we borrow my inlaws and camp for a couple of days at their campground. Good times!! Thanks for the coupon codes.
