Left just after work on Thursday.  Had a meeting with a… difficult… colleague, then a “touch base” (bizspeak drives me crazy) meeting with my managers.  Then, off to Pennsylvania.

Day 1: Driving.

We drove for 8½ hours.  There’s a whole lotta nothing between Indy and Blue Ridge Summit, where my folks live.

Day 2: Hershey Park.

Dave’s first time at Hershey – Leah and I took him.  It’s been 8(?) years since I’ve been to HP, so there was a lot of new for me, too.  Turns out Dave’s not a fan of the “scream coasters” – kind of a bummer for him.  We avoided riding them during the day to save him the waiting in line, but Leah and I wanted rode a few late, just before the park closed.  Thankfully, the longest line we waited in was only half an hour long, and Dave rode a tame coaster twice while he waited.  =)  My favorite: the StormRunner.  That’s a fun coaster.

Here’s us on the Chocolate World ride (which, since the last time I rode it, has gone from educational and borderline boring to being on multimedia steroids):
