2014 DC Trip Day 5 Sunday April 20

This is Easter, most places are closed
One place open is Hershey Park
We will spend the day here enjoying and then on to York

Hershey, PA to York, PA - 37 miles
Packing to get back on the road again

Two people, nine days on a motorcycle, two saddle bags and one trunk. I want my trailer!
The big attraction in Hershey, PA is, you guessed it the Hershey Park open 10AM to 6PM today
Headed over first thing and went to the Hershey Museum
Looked around inside, but this is not where we wanted to go.  So we snacked.

There is a different place named Chocolate World
located adjacent to the big roller coaster park.

Entrance is free, but anything more costs money
Waited in line outside the door for about 15 minutes and
when we got inside, the line stretched for even longer.
They only have one counter where you buy tickets for the premium attractions.

There is a free ride where they take you through a spiel
on how they make their milk chocolate.

The three cows are ubiquidous and they sing Hershe's version of "It's A Small World"
Near the end of the ride are counters that purport to count the products

After that, we grabbed a bite and then headed on down the road
 
Harrisburg is the Pennsylvania State Capitol
The best photo opportunity was the justice center

Dauphin County Courthouse for a county "D" is devilishly difficult to get a good photo of.
It is tall and the name is only at the very top
Fortunately, there is a county medical facility right next door
Stopped for the day in York, PA
Laugerman Harley-Davidson open until 3:00 on Sundays
Got there about ten minutes to 3:00 but they were closed for the holiday

Tonight we are staying at the Best Western Watergate Inn in York
Tomorrow will tour the Harley-Davidson Motor Company, York Plant
Tours: 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM, Monday thru Friday
