Washington DC part 2

On Sunday we got up at took the subway back down to where we left off on Saturday.  We spent a few hours in the Air and Space museum, ate lunch, walked to the Jefferson memorial, then along the river and back to our hotel to pick up our car and then drove to Hershey, PA.

Braedon loved this museum.  We didn’t take too many pictures because we were pretty busy chasing him around.

Mom, here are the Cherry Blossoms that you wanted pictures of.

That and a nice, long walk along the river back to our hotel concluded our trip to DC.  We arrived in Hershey at around 5 so we ate dinner and then checked into our hotel so Braedon could swim and just run around.  The next morning we got up and headed to Chocolate World!

Braedon was pretty excited too!

We went on a really fun tour of the place and then followed that up with a couple really fun activities.  Braedon got to work in a little factory with Hershey Kisses.

Here he is watching the chocolate come off the conveyer belt in to a tin can.  He’s hoping one of them will fall so he can grab a bite.

Unfortunately for him none did, but he helped himself anyway.

We also got to create our own candy bars!  We have been sharing them for dessert for the last two nights and it is the best chocolate ever.   Oh my…so good!!

We had to wear hair nets and aprons.  Braedon was NOT a fan of the hair net and he had to wear it to be in the factory part.

We picked what we wanted our candy bar to include.

Then we watched our candy bars being made.
