I've had some theme park-related posts in the back of my mind for a while now, so perhaps I should actually write a few to compare more notes with you. <BR/><BR/>But it's funny you mentioned the water ride because those are my absolute least-favorite rides, and when I was your daughter's age I went on a very similar rapids/waterfall ride at Busch Gardens and STILL have horrible flashbacks because of it--I seriously thought I was going to drown! Your daughter is a lot tougher than I was/am!<BR/><BR/>Looks like I may have to get to Hershey, PA again one of these days. You are lucky that it's so close! Six Flags by us is pretty decent, but since I don't have a car it's not totally easy to get to.<BR/><BR/>- eErika (aka "e")https://www.blogger.com/profile/17051946388926947935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-74106301780266284542007-12-11T15:06:00.001-06:002007-12-11T15:06:00.001-06:00And I also love the mint truffle kiss.And I also love the mint truffle kiss.Wandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11411177284399969610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-67522800828136038872007-12-11T15:06:00.000-06:002007-12-11T15:06:00.000-06:00Our fam discovered Hershey Park this year and went...Our fam discovered Hershey Park this year and went twice. We had a blast. My kids loved the coasters... they're very good. We preferred it to any Paramount park we've been to. And yes, it still smells good. <BR/><BR/>We've also visited the free "Chocolate World" outside the park a couple of times during the winter when the crowds are down, and the last time we went, they grabbed my wife and daughter to do taste testing on chocolate bars. They loved that! <BR/><BR/>This summer the water park was very crowded. It was a great water park, with a few exceptions for how they managed lines and crowds, but it was the water park's first year so it was heavily promoted. The upside was that the rest of the park wasn't as busy since crowds were in the waterpark. Our timid seven year old wanted to go on the intensely-rated river rapids ride. I thought for sure she'd lose it when we went through three or four waterfalls, but she LOVED that. Don't get me started on Hershey Park. It is a couple of hours away for us, so we don't have to consider effort to travel. But I certainly recommend it above the other parks in this area.Wandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11411177284399969610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-65371020761727871832007-12-11T11:56:00.000-06:002007-12-11T11:56:00.000-06:00Hmmm, I will have to try the mint one.

I don't like hard mints but I like the softer ones some restaurants have. The one you mentioned sounds like I might like it!<BR/><BR/>- eErika (aka "e")https://www.blogger.com/profile/17051946388926947935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-68061804060685647922007-12-11T06:41:00.000-06:002007-12-11T06:41:00.000-06:00E-If you like chocolate and mint...you MUST try th...E-<BR/>If you like chocolate and mint...you MUST try the chocolate mint truffle kiss!
