So when did you go to Hershey PARK? That is the theme park of my youth and I have so many fond memories. By the way, I cannot tolerate Hershey's chocolate anymore. I wonder if they changed the recipe or if my taste buds changed. If it isn't DOVE Dark Chocolate, what is the point?

Glad you are having such an amazing trip. I would love to do that one day.
