Vacation Part 2

The 2nd leg of our trip was a trip to Hershey PA. There is the chocolate factory there, an amusement park and many other family related activities to keep us busy. Fiona was still not feeling the best, but we decided to head out there and see how things went as all of the bookings had already been made.

Our first stop was to visit the "Indian Echo Caverns", which was a big underground cave near to where we were staying. The tour was OK but really spent most of the time making bad jokes about the different features in the rocks "Here you see the bunny rabbit", "Here you see the dragon" ... etc. I think more discussion about the actual formations themselves would have made the trip more interesting. Towards the end of the trip, Fiona's fever came back again so we headed to the hotel to rest...again. It was quite bad that night and into the morning, so we made a decision to bag the planned day at Hershey Park and to go to the movies and the hotel pool instead. We saw "Wall E", quite enjoyable but much of it was aimed at an older audience than our kids. They enjoyed it though, I guess.

Saturday we drove back to get the dogs from the boarding kennel and catch up on everything that needs to be done around the house. The delightful bonus from the trip was that Tito, our oldest dog, has been farting and crapping all over the house since his return. He did this once before at a different kennel, so I guess he simply frets so much he destroys his system. Certainly makes for a fun few days cleaning up behind him.

Sunday was cricket - we got 223 and bowled them out for 110 - so a crushing victory for the good guys. Mindy and the kids were at a pool party and had a good time as well. I am now back at work, and struggling to get through the day. Things should be busy for the next month as I am working on an extra project for another client and catching up on what went on here last week.
