We made it to the Montour Preserves for an afternoon of fun learning about Maple Syruping. First we were lucky enough to watch a short video produced in the early 1970′s about how to tap trees, make maply syrup and maply sugar. It is a great video because the narrator and star was born around [...]

This weekend we went to Niagara Falls. We arrived Saturday late afternoon via the Rainbow Bridge. The wait through customs was about 15 minutes which wasn’t too bad considering we have waited much longer on our trips to Canada in the summer. We checked into our hotel and had a quick bite to eat. The [...]

Sunday Natalie and I met my sister, her daughters, Laurel and Kora and our friend Krissy at Hershey Park Candylane. It was a great day! It costs $10.95 each for Natalie and me. Considering they had more than enough rides open for Natalie I think the cost was more than reasonable. We arrived around 12:30 [...]

Last night Nick and I actually went to the movies. We have not been to the movies since 2003. The reason Nick agreed to go is because it was Harry Potter which we love and he wanted to see it in 3D. We went to the imax theater at the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg. We [...]

Today Natalie and I went to Hershey. I wanted to go to the outlets to look for some new clothes for this ever growing child. Before we arrived on a shopping spree, I thought we would go to Hershey’s Chocolate World. Nick and I ventured there many a cold nights when we lived in Hershey [...]

Today Natalie and I went to Brummer’s Happy Breeze Farm in Port Royal. It is a great place. They have mums and you can either choose planted ones or find your own in their garden and they will dig them up for you. They also have all sorts of pumpkins, gourds and other fall decorations [...]
