Hershey Park cont.

Okay, so based on my personal agenda, not the comments of certain people (ahem..jk!) I will keep this one short.

As we were making our way to the park, we passed the actual factories, where rich smells of pure chocolate taunted us relentlessly. More tantalizing still was our first glimpse of the park: the Hershey Arena, rolller coasters glittering in the sunlight, and a flock of swarming people. Not to mention sweet little flower gardens and cool patches of shade. We still had about a 15 minute drive from where we got our first glimpse to the parking lot. And the day progressed much like this: me and jess had a difficult time deciding what to do first. We ended up going to the water park section of the park, where we met up with meghan, emily, emily and jacklyn, and stood by the splash-down ride in hopes of getting ....well, splashed! We were lucky the first time and got drenched (no bathing suit, btw.) Then we got insanely delicious ice cream, people watched (again, don't have time to go into it, or you would be in for a trea. jess knows what im talking about) By then it was almost time to check in, so we started back. But Mr. M told us about this bizzare ride where you got splashed while you were in the air on a roller coaster-type contraption. We didn't go on the ride, but we did stand under the sprays and got thorougly soaked. Then we rode the carousel, checked in, went on Comet, which was tons of fun (we went on twice, despite jess's fear) then we went on an insane water ride. It was in a tube, and we went down man-made rapids. Coolest ride ever. We were so wet, and laughing and choking and dripping, and it was amazing. And then, for the remainding hour of the day, we shopped: we bought chocolate, jewlery, kettle corn, soda, stuffed animals, and key chains. And then, tired and wet, we headed back to our chaperone and boarded the buses. And as the sun set behind a beautiful green hillside, we curled up for our four hour journey home. Jess and I set up a cozy corner and made the synthetic bus seats a small little haven. With the breeze blowing in the open windows, and the sky steadily darkening, revealing small twinking light from shopping plazas, we almost didn't want to get off the bus at 11:00 pm that night......


so that was our trip in a very large nutshell. It was a blast and I loved every part of it. Not to mention I loved (and still do, and always will) Jessica. Now...well, lets see. What do I have to do...right! Get the science packet from someone, and basically study until my head explodes for this math final tomorrow.
butttt at least I have things to look forward to. Take Friday for an example: we have a women's choir party AND we get to spend an hour and a half signing year books. And if nothing else, we have a little over a week left of school. But more reminiscing once the year is actually over.
