We arrived fairly early in Hershey and decided to park and get some rest before we went into the attraction. After a bit, we went into the Hershey Chocolate World and gift shop. Here we took the free tour and learned about Mr. Hershey, the town, the facilities, and the making of the chocolate. After the informative tour, we perused the goodies at the gift shop. After we had purchased a few souvenirs, we headed back to the van. Seth took over after a fill-up and he drove from Hershey to our hotel in Ridgefield, New Jersey. This was only a two hour drive. We were a little early for our check-in time, so we took advantage of the time by doing a little exploring in the New Jersey area. We ate lunch at Wendy's and drove down the main drag looking at what was around town. Due to the one way streets and weird lane changes, we ended up in a traffic jam. This delay took a fair amount of time to circumvent (leagally?) and get us back to the hotel. After checking in, we decided to situate ourselves and take a break. Most of us fell asleep from our long night. After everyone was awake, we decided to get some dinner. We ordered in and had some pizza. After watching a few hours of TV and chatting about tomorrow's events, we got some more rest for tomorrow. It will be an early morning for us. 6 AM! Yikes!
