2011 Summer Trip to New England
















We are enjoying our RV trip to New England this summer; especially the cooler weather. Our first stop was in Hershey, PA. We stayed at a Thousand Trails RV Resort. It was a very nice resort. We spent our first day at the pool, reading and swimming. Very stressful NOT! One day we took a ride through the country side and I loved seeing all the Amish farms and horses and buggies. Those horse and buggys really clip along. I'd hate to pull out or step out in front on one because they are really fast.

We took a tour to the Hershey Museum. It was really interesting learning how Milton Hershey started the Hershey chocolate company as well as the town. The street lights on Chocolate Ave look like candy kisses. It is really cool. That same day we also toured the Hershey Chocolate Factory. Jim stocked up on lots of chocolate. So to say the least, Jim is in chocolate heaven on this trip. Our friends, Rita and Joe from our Winnebago club, also were camping at this same resort. We had lunch together at the Hershy Hotel restaurant. The hotel is a 5 star hotel and the restaurant was wonderful. After we ate, the guys sat in the lobby (girl watching) and Rita and I enjoyed shopping the wonderful shops in the hotel. Rita found a lovely Vera Bradly laptop cover and I found a wonderful beach hat for the pool. We really had fun shopping. We enjoyed happy hour visits with Rita and Joe and I cooked dinner for them one night. On our last day, Jim and I got pedicures and spent the afternoon at the pool. Life is good.

Jim and Linda,

Enjoy your trip, I'm definitely envious. Let us know when you return. Have fun and catch some big fish and the berries in New England should be at their peak this week! Love, Pat and Dale
