a As mentioned in my other blog, we went on a road trip to Hershey, PA and spent a couple of days there. We got charged over a hundred bucks when we cancelled our reservation for our Virginia Beach and Busch Garden trips. It was bummer but unexpected things happen. The kennel that supposed to take care of our dogs got an emergency so they had to close the business for the time being which affected us also. We did not find a place to take care of our dogs that time but luckily, we have found a place at a later date and was able to do a road trip.
Anyway, here are some of the photos taken during our road trip. We took a quick photo before we left, Even though I always take pictures every time we go on the same road, I can't help but click the camera as hubby drives to keep myself entertained. I dunno what's in the tunnel that always captivate me. To me tunnel represents excitement, I know that's weird but that's always how I feel when we go through tunnels.
U would love to go on a Pittsburgh River Cruise via the Gateway Clipper Fleet. It would be nice to see the Pittsburgh are on a total different route, the river.
Road trips are fun especially when you have well-travelled kids. Our kids share the same passion as we do with traveling so we don't really have any problem with them when we are on the road. The great thing about it educating the kids of what you see on the road. Like this pile of sand, they usually ask what this is for and we explain to them about it.
You know that you are in Pittsburgh when you see one bridge after another.
I told you, there's something about tunnels .. hahaha!
See, there's always light at the end of the tunnel which is a great thing.
I love good signs like this church. I mean, let's face it, road trips involves risks so it is always a good feeling when you feel protected on the road.
Aside from tunnels, silos on the farm is also an interest of mine when it comes to photography subject.
Sometimes people would look at us weirdly when we take a picture during rest stops but hey, who cares, lol. We're making memories here so what they think doesn't bother us. Well, it does bother my husband from time to time but he goes along with us. I am sure, the kids will appreciate all these when they are older and have their own families. They will have something to look back to.

It looks like you have a lot of good quality family time, which I think is the most important! We love to travel too. I have not been there before, but I am trying to go as many places as I can! Thanks for the post!
We were there in July, too, and loved it there. I was really surprised at all the farm land there was in that area.
LOL. I'm sure your husband is like, "Let's go already!" Husbands are like that. They like to get where they're going as fast as possible. ;)
After being relocated halfway across the country, I really miss Hershey, PA. My kids were so used to going to Hershey Park several times thought the year (especially Christmas!!) glad you got to have some fun with your whole family and I'm sure your kids will have great memories too :)
I didn't see anything when I went to Hershey except the theme park lol. We stayed in a cheapp hotel half hour away and drove to there early morning. I fell asleep the second we got in the car, but what a nice area! The people working at Hershey Park were all very friendly, so I'm guessing the rest of the locals are like that as well.
Looks like you guys had a really fun road trip!! I haven't been to Hershey, PA since I was a kid but I remember it being tons of fun :)
Oh how much fun! I went to Hershey Park many years ago. I think I was 13 years old. I'd love to go back. I bet a lot has changed since then.
We love going to Hershey. We were just there this past weekend to visit Hersheypark. It's such a beautiful place.
Oh wow, sounds like you guys went through a lot of trouble before getting to the good stuff :)
What a beautiful city! My DH and I actually went there on our honeymoon!!
Hershey Park is great. I love how the entire area smells like chocolate from the time you get anywhere near it. We always go in Chocolate World when we visit.
We have talked about going to Hershey for years now. We need to go! It looks like so much fun!
I was in Pennsylvania recently but we didn't make it to Hershey. Looks like y'all had a blast!
These are some great photos. I really need to make it back up there sometime soon. There are some really cool areas!
Road trips are always so much fun. I love all of the photos they will be great in a scrapbook. It looks like you had a great time.
Great to see you guys had a great time on your road trip to PA. It was just sad that you had to pay a fee when you cancelled your reservation to Virginia Beach.
sounds like you had a wonderful family trip! I never been to PA.. but I would love to visit
These are some great road trip pics! I've never been there, but would love to visit. I know my grandkids would enjoy it, too.
I love tunnels too! You're right... there's something exciting about them... just knowing there's an end to it is a great metaphor for dark/troubled times in our lives.
You are right about the bridges in Pittsburgh. There are so many! lol I love how you document the entire trip (including rest stops). That's a great idea! We always stop at one in Angola, PA and we don't have one picture. Next time! :) Great photos! Enjoyed!
I get weird looks when I pull out my camera sometimes too, Phooey to it, I say. :)
I have always wanted to take my family there. Hopefully someday maybe next Summer we can go.
Nice article. Please add some key Do's and must see stuffs around this place.
I've never been to Hershey Park but my kids have been several times with my mother-in-law. They always have the best time and take such fun pictures.
Oh wow, it looks like you had so much fun! I would love to travel there, looks gorgeous.
I’ve never been to Pittsburgh but I’ve heard so many great things about it! It looks like you guys had a great visit and we’ll definitely check it out if we're in the area.
