Well you just never know what the day will bring. I was reading emails as we were driving along because I could not get a good connection last night. Low and behold my sister's email is reminding me of the great meal she had a Hotel Hershey, and guess what? The next exit was for Hershey. We got off, waited about 1/2 hour then had fabulous lunch buffet in the Circular Room. Puts the Chateau Frontenac to shame let me tell you and we thought that was pretty good. And of course chocolate is supreme for dessert - chocolate cheesecake, triple chocolate cake, flourless chocolate brownies, chocolate bread pudding, key lime pie with chocolate crust, chocolate sauce for fruit and many non-chocolate choices. It was really wonderful to have real roast beef cooked just right too. Beautiful room as you can see and view from our table. Hotel lobby reminds me of Tampa Theatre. It's the 100th anniversary of Hershey Park this year.
Then onto Gettysburg. Started to pour-naturally- as soon as we started to hook up. We are taking it easy - lots of food to digest and we have concluded our problem is hay fever allergies. Sneezing like crazy and feeling icky - both of us. Traffic was very heavy although we got an early start this AM. Many, many trucks on the road and congested traffic in this area.
History buffs should know that the new, improved Gettysburg will be ready in 2008. Brochure makes it sound fabulous. They are restoring the old diorama that I vaguely remember from my childhood, adding 5 theatres and displaying much more of their Civil War stuff in a new museum. They will be taking away everything that was built on the battlegrounds and restoring everything to look as it did during the war. Rightfully so I should say. Also says they will have a restaurant serving civil war dishes. I hope that doesn't mean what the soldiers were eating?!?That will be great so we aren't spending anytime on that this trip. Something to consider for a future adventure though.
