Hershey Park

Leroy and Jerry headed out to the dealership early to get the brakes fixed, while I scooted over to the laundry mat to wash some of our clothes so we have enough to get home. Started talking with "Tony", a local who drives truck cross country, and I had to laugh when he offered me his phone number. I took it with no promise to ever call him, but it helped pass the time at the laundry mat. I called the guys twice, and they were waiting for parts. Took the laundry back to the hotel and checked out. Waited at one of the picnic tables for the guys.

They got back around noonish and we went for lunch. I love this photo. This little guy kept peeking in the window and finally Jerry peeked back through the blinds. Of course after that the game was on!

Hershey Park included more roller coasters, monorail, gondola, tilt-a-whirl, kissing tower (which is much higher up than it appeared from the bottom....oh my) and trying on funky hats. We saw a lady carry around a stuffed monkey that was bigger than her. When we came to the game where that was the prize, I decided to try my luck. Jerry joined in the fun and we bought a bucket full of rings for $5. Now to just get one on a bottle and that monkey is mine! We rode in antique cars, fed the ducks and geese, and managed to escape that evening at 6:30 pm without buying a ton of chocolate. As we were leaving the park the night before a little girl walking in front of us with her parents reached out and took Jerry's hand. They walked for a bit, Jerry looking rather surprised, when the little girl looked up and saw this really big, biker guy who she was holding onto and you could see the embarrassment and fear crawl into her face. She dropped his hand, and quickly scooted over to her parents. I told them what happened and they laughed and laughed.

After leaving the park we rode for several hours before finding a place to hang our hats for the night. We'll be home on Saturday, before the rain.
