So for this years vacation my family went to Hershey Park Pennsylvania. While in Pennsylvania we also hit Gettysburg, and Amish country. It started on Wednesday Aug. 11 2010 at 3:55 am. Reason we left this early was because we didn't want to hit any traffic on the 6 hour drive from my Grandparents house in Massachusetts to Pennsylvania. While we drove down to Penn. We hit Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We hit the tappan zee bridge so that we wouldn't have to deal with all the bull shit from the George Washington Bridge. I don't remember what time we hit Penn. But it was still before 12 pm. After we arrived at Gettysburg we had some food in a little diner. Then we made our way to the National Park. For peeps who don't know the Park itself is 24 miles long showing major points of fighting from July 1-3 1863. What my family focused on was Cemetery Hill and the National Cemetery. Cemetery hill was were most of the fighting between July 2 and 3 took place. It was also were Pickets charge was done and failed. After seeing the monuments at Cemetery Hill and the cemetery itself we went to the Visitor's center. There me and my dad went to see the Giant Cyclorama. If you don't now what a cyclorama is it's a Giant 360 degree panting of something. This one was the original and it is 360 feet long by 26 feet high. This cyclorama was a depiction of July 3 1863, when Picket's Charge happened and failed. After we did the Cyclorama we went to the other parts of the battlefield. Saw more monuments then drove for an hour to our Hotel. We had dinner at Red Robins then went to sleep. The next morning we got up around 7:00am. The park didn't open until 10:00, but the Shuttle took us to Hershey's Chocolate World. This is were you can take a tour of how Hershey's chocolate is made, see a 3D movie, get tickets for the Trolley works, or make your own candy bar. We did the Tour and enjoyed that. after the tour we went to the entrance the the park itself. After it opened we ran to the first roller-coaster on our list the Fahrenheit. This coaster brings up up then drops you 97 degrees down. After the Fahrenheit we hit the Wildcat a wooden coaster then the Wild Mouse a steel coaster. Next was the Lightning racer were two roller coasters go at the same time and race each other. After the coaster we hit the Ferris Wheel to take a break. After we ate we tried going on the Great Bear but it started to rain and thunder so they closed it. So after waiting for an 1 1/2 hours we decided to go on the Sunoco Twin Turnpike speedway cars. We left the park cuse it was really raining hard. So after the rain we came back from the Hotel and went on the Great Bear. Then we hit the Kissing Tower and finally the wooden Roller coaster Comet. Then after leaving the park we hit the Chocolate tour again to end the day.

August 12: Went to the park at the same time as the 11. When on the tour again to start the day. hit the SooperDooperLooper coaster. Next we hit the Trailblazer coaster. Then we took the Trolley works tour. This is were you took an old school trolley to the center of Hershey Penn. and go around and see all the old buildings and important landmarks. After the Tour we hit the Capital BlueCross Monorail. Then after the Monorail we hit the fastest Roller-coast at the park, The Storm Runner. This coaster shoots you from 0-79 mph in 2 sec then you go up the main hill do some inverted loops some corkscrews and then return to the station. then me and my bro did the Sidewinder one of those coaster that bring you up then you go backwards after the forward part. Then we hit the sea lion show. Then finally we hit the Wildcat one last time and to finish our day we did the Chocolate tour one more time.

August 13. After leaving the Hotel we went through Amish Country and saw the buggy and the Amish peeps. and we finally went home. And that was my big summer vaca for 2010. We did some other stuff to but we did so much that i don't remember the order.
