Tsai Family of the Parklands

After visiting the Hershey Chocolate Factory, we drove straight to our friends, the Wang family, who had just moved to Pennsylvania. We had not seen them for one or two years. After dinner, we celebrated a double birthday for Jessica and for I-Ming. Although it was a very short visit this time, we thoroughly enjoyed the time spent together. Welcome to the East Coast again, Wang family.

No, we did not go to Hershey Park because we already have been there. But we decided to surprise Jessica on her birthday by driving up to the Hershey Chocolate Factory. To our surprise and satisfaction, the free tour was pretty amazing and fun. We rode in an amusement style car that fit our whole family of seven. With multimedia presentations and lively displays, we learned how chocolate is made from the bean to the bar. At the end of the tour, everyone received 2 Hershey's Kisses. We also had a chance to buy a photo of our ourselves while on the tour, the kind of photo from a roller coaster ride only a lot slower. It was so fun that we rode it a second time. Of course, after the free ride, we entered the enormous gift shop and sauntered around for a while.
