Something about Nothing, come join in........

I love Hershey! Bubba's Mom is right ... all the quick food at Hershey is not cheap at all. I think Universal is a bit more reasonable. The good news is that if you're really hungry, just keep riding the Reese's Extreme Cup Challenge. They give you a piece of candy every time you exit the ride.

We stayed at the Hershey Lodge when we went and loved it. OK, fine. We loved the bars. And, yes, we are the 2 idiots that live an hour and a half away and insisted we stay 3 nights at $249/night in a standard room + tax. Hershey Hotels are expensive. The Hotel Hershey was going for $459 at the time we went last year. Wow. I've spent less at Universal.

We have to get back to Chocolate World soon though. I like to be the cool house that gives out full sized candy bars on Halloween. Plus, if we have left overs, I find that I never eat an entire candy bar, but think nothing of eating 2-3 snack sized bars as if that's any better.

finally back in atlanta - my dc meeting with the clients seems to have gone well!

roseprincess - i hope that everything works out this time. your whole ordeal seems really frustrating. i definitely would mention it to the doctor though. same rule there as it is in the parks - if they did not know about it, they cannot fix it.

keishashadow - you have to go BACK to the dentist? YUCKS! as if you did not have enough fun the first time.

fan2cskr - can you send me your negotiator friend so he can help? I am usually the negotiator in my family but for some reason i am all out of sorts this go 'round!

damo - my mom is a math teacher and tutor as well. do you do additions in your head at the grocery store too? my mom is faster than the register and has caught ITS mistakes sometimes!

Hi Everyone! Bye everyone! We have 8th grade graduation this morning, then are all heading out to various parts of the world. DH, and two DS's are heading west to Wisconsin Rapids for a soccer tournament for the weekend. DS13 and I are driving through the entire Upper Peninsula for the first time back down into northern lower Michigan where my folks have rented a cottage on a lake. We're going to spend a long weekend with them. They've had 50/60's and rain all week (tell me about it!), but the forecast for the weekend is sun and upper 70's/lower 80's!

Everyone have a great weekend and we'll see you Tuesday!

Re-posting this since you must have missed it and I'm all about food and really want to know.

welcome back from the city that never sleeps. tlinus! You were missed! See any shows? Eat at any amazing restaurants? Bet the beans missed you like crazy and are happy to have you home!


mac. so glad you can keep your parts. If that wasn't the case we could have offered you up for one of the HHN houses.

I find the food expensive at Hershey too and the lodge and hotel is usually priced ridiculous for when we want to go.

Bubba'sMom, what kind of ribs were they in that picture? They really look good. I'm making ribs for fathers day.

It was already hot and humid when I woke up at 6A and it doesn't look like it will get any better. Guess its time for the AC. We found out we need to replace the liner in our pool so the kids are way bummed they have to wait to swim. Since the pool has to be emptied to do this and then refilled I wonder if I can fill it with warm water instead of cold. My husband will think I'm nuts for sure. Oh well, just a little more confirmation to what he already knows.

have a great weekend everyone that has plans away!

we didn't get any?? ....or are you thinking of the Chocolate World ride? They give you a piece of candy after that ride (Chocolate World is outside of the park)

yeah Tracie....why can't we have a TR (w/ pix) on NYC?? Why not?? and you are so good at 'em.....

macraven.... you get to keep your parts! Personally, there are a few i'd like to exchange for new ones

have a great trip marci! can't wait to hear/see all about it!

janet.....take lotsa pain killers

goNDmay9 ....looking forward to hearing how the car thing turns out. We will not buy anything except for Honda's now...i have a 2000 Civic, DH has 2005 Civic.... i have slightly less than 2 years left on his payments...then a year off payments woohoo: ) and then i'll get a new car....i was really liking the looks of the new CRV's....but by the time i'm ready for a new car, they will have probably already redesigned it again (either way, next car is still gonna be a Honda)

and for whoever else i missed......have a great day!!!

We are going to Dorney Park tomorrow (Sat) for DH's company picnic! Park is open 10-10 and they feed us at the pavillion from 12-5 ....can't beat it...only thing we pay for is parking!

Bubba'sMom, what kind of ribs were they in that picture? They really look good. I'm making ribs for fathers day.

i just bought them from the store "jumbo pack" ...they aren't in a "rack"...they're already separated. I do marinate them overnight in KC Masterpiece "Steakhouse" flavor marinade tho... (don't forget to sear before marinading!)

 

[keishashadow]

9:00 a.m. & my mouth's watering for ribs

Barb, u r all about the parks i get to drive my DS & his buds to Kennywood for the school picnic next week; they did half-heartedly offer to let me tag along. Should've seen the look of relief cross their faces when i said I'd skip it. Probably hard for 14 - 16 years old to troll for chicks with ma in the posse.

Was supposed to drive to Reading 5+ hours for RiverRats playoff game against your hometown team (Express?); i'm begging off. Just not up for such a long day out & back. Couldn't talk DH into making a weekend of it & hitting the outlets...which leads me to my Q - are they worth a drive or moreso just like a Prime Outlet?

 

[bubba's mom]

janet....hahaha! you mean to tell me your DS doesn't think you're 'cool enuf' to stroll for chix w/ him

Yep...we're Reading Express (DH had to tell me that and tell me it was football )...oh well..... Can't say if the outlets are worth the drive for you....i've linked the "home page" here for you and you can check out the stores and such....i might add, they do have some stuff really cheap, the designer stuff i wouldn't know about because i don't shop "designer"...but they DO do a busy business there. (I like the Reading China & Glass store...everything you could possibly need/want).... I only go there once a year or so..(and i only live about 10 min. away! )...but that's around Christmas time.....maybe the link will help you out.....

---MAKE SURE TO CLICK ON "STORES" AT THE TOP WHEN YOU GET TO THE HOMEPAGE!! http://www.vfovillage.com/

 

[macraven]

dang !!!!!

i forgot father's day is around the corner...........


wait, i have another week, whew......

 

[Akdar]

Growing up in Reading, I always shopped at the Lee outlet for jeans and sweatshirts, socks ect..... I always found the prices to be great! But I'm not sure if I have the "shopping gene" being the male of the species. Haven't been to a Reading Express game yet, but I know a few people that go, and love it (arena football)

 

[AlexandNessa]

we didn't get any?? ....or are you thinking of the Chocolate World ride? They give you a piece of candy after that ride (Chocolate World is outside of the park)

Oh, no, they stopped?! Bummer. Yes, they give out candy at Chocolate World too, but last summer they gave out some type of Reese's candy after the ride. Maybe because the ride was new? They had a huge bin of Reeses as you exited the ride, and an attendant handed you one on your way out. We'd save our candy and give it to a kid waiting in line.

 

[bubba's mom]

mac...yes, Father's Day is a week from Sunday...you gots some time (I however have the 'primo' FDay gift for DH....can't wait to give it to him! )

jodie....i'm guessing they DID give out candy after the ride there because it WAS new last year.... guess they figure they're giving out at Choc. World...that's enuf "freebies"

Mike....glad to see you back....where ya been?? How ya been feelin'??

Hi everyone! I'd like to join in too. I'm new to the boards but have spent a good deal of time reading the threads in the last month or so. My dear husband, 4 year old daughter and I will be heading the Orlando on June 22 to stay with my sister and her kids. Yeah, it's nice to have family in Orlando! We have the 7 day 2 park tickets to Universal/IOA and tickets to Sea World. We will probably do one day at the Magic Kingdom for my daughter Hannah. My husband Ron and I aren't major Disney people. In fact, I like Epcot the best out of the Disney parks. But, Hannah is in the princess phase.

We haven't been to universal before, but my sister and her kids have annual passes. They go a lot! After looking at the pics on this site and others, I actually think my daughter is going to like Universal/IOA better than MK.
