After church on Sunday, we headed north to Lancaster, PA. We went through Gettysburg. We bought a CD and took the tour ourselves. It was interesting and we learned a lot.In Lancaster, I think Brenda managed to find some outlet shops and keep herself busy. The kids were always on the lookout for a horse and buggy.
On Monday night (after I had crab for dinner), we drove up to Hershey and went through the chocolate factory. It was fun. The kids had a blast. Of course, we also managed to spend a few dollars at the store they dump the "free" ride into.
We checked out of the hotel on Tuesday. Brenda picked me up from work, and we drove east to New Jersey. We spent the night about a half hour from the ocean.
Wednesday we spent at Ocean City, NJ. It was the first real day that felt like a vacation for me. We are typical Minnesotans, however, and not great beach goers. We managed to all get fried.
Wednesday night we drove back closer to Philadelphia, and flew out from there on Thursday morning.
Thursday was spent recouperating from our vacation, and seeing our new niece (Wendy and Eric's baby girl).
Friday, I took the day off and we went to our church retreat. We were there all day Saturday as well. It is good to be home.

Nice pics.....thanks again for sharing. brian
We thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate factory last fall. And our pocketbooks did get a little dipped into after that "free" ride, too!
