We had a really nice week here near Hershey, Pennsylvania, and rounded it off today with a bit of site-seeing (I took the day off).
We started the morning off at the American Antique Automobile museum, which was really cool.
Parked in front was the bus used in Forrest Gump, where Forrest first met Bubba on the way to basic training.
There were hundreds of amazing automobiles and I took lots of pictures. I think the one that intrigued me the most was this stainless steel 1967 Lincoln Continental (since my grandparents had pretty much the same car without the stainless steel finish). 
After the antique museum, we made a quick stop by Chocolate World, and rode a little ride where we learned about the chocolate production process.
Then we drove to the heart of Hershey, the corner of Chocolate and Cocoa streets.
Near here we could see the original Hershey factory.
We also saw the more famous factory, with the trademark red brick "Hershey" smoke stacks, and the "Hershey Cocoa" carved shrubs.
And by this point, we were about ready to call it a day :-) Big thanks to Connor for driving us around, and his little man, Patrick, for being such an awesome trooper, riding around with us most of the day ;-)
