Between an official tour, a free ride through the factory, and informational bus drivers we learned so much Hershey Trivia such as... Hershey has a strange official city fact. Hershey, PA has no legal status as an incorporated municipality. The town’s municipal services are provided by Derry Township, which is part of Dauphin County, PA. Hershey’s Chocolate World and the main area of Hershey features over 100 street lamps shaped like Hershey’s Kisses (some which are wrapped and some are not).   80 million Hershey’s Kisses are produced each day. Milton Hershey put a $300 deposit on the doomed Titanic voyage, but had to change his plans at the last minute due to an emergency. His wife, Kitty, was seriously sick.                         What would our chocolate world look like if they had gone on the trip?! Hershey and his wife weren’t able to have children, so instead they focused on helping other children by opening th...

As mentioned, Thomas Dambo is an amazing artist who has created these Trolls all over the world. He even has a trollmap posted on his own website . These trolls located at Bernheim Forest and Arboretum have their own special story as well..

Who is Thomas Dambo? Thomas Dambo is a Danish "recycle art activist" and is known for his giant wooden sculptures called trolls, entirely made out of recycled materials. The trolls are installed in various locations in 17 countries and counting.  We have visited... "The Troll that Hatched an Egg" located in Dayton, Ohio at  Aullwood Audubon The first Troll we met is named Little Bibbi.

How do I write or better how do I best preserve a memory? Is there a best way? I tend to overdo things. I know this about myself, but I also enjoy taking a trip down memory lane.

Will the things we do now still exist when the boys go take a trip down memory lane. So, how do I preserve a memory?  First, I take way too many pictures. But honestly, which ones could I have cut out? The family photo on the trail. B and I were walking slowly enjoying our hike together and look at this super cheese smile E has on his face! I love bike rides and I feel we will only do it more and I need to spotlight dad's sweet wheels too! The challenge: making the alphabet with sticks! Challenge accepted! I know my dad might not be happy about this picture being shared.. but I am not sure anyone other than my reads these anyway so I am sharing an adora...
