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 !!!

Today, it is butterflies! I took these pictures myself.

Now before you gasp and think we have beautiful wildflowers all over our backyard and butterflies are frolicking to and fro, let me self- disclose: I took these pictures at the butterfly house at Hershey Park when we went this summer.

But I did take these pictures with my own camera and they do show that every once-in-a-while, when you need a smile… all you need is a butterfly!

It was in Thurmont, MD. If you think about going to Hershey Park…Go! It has lots of rides for all age groups and the drive from DC is EASY !!!!!

So we went into Roy Rogers and I ordered for our family as ‘my guys’ sat down. I noticed the teenager who was taking my order was named Nicole.

“My name is Nicole too,” I said.

We both smiled and she asked me if I spell it with an ‘h'; I told her no,

“That’s cool, I hate when people spell it with an ‘h’.”

“Me too.” I laughed.

Then she got out a little milk carton to accompany my son’s kids meal…

I looked at it and said,

“You’re not going to believe this but my last name is CROWLEY.” Just like the milk.

I’m interpreting this as VERY COOL KARMA…

or at least a very cool coincidence…

No, I’m going with the VERY COOL KARMA thing,

Happy Monday!
