Hershey, PA

A couple weeks ago Jon and I were able to go to Hershey, PA for a nice little get away! Jon won the Laureate Award at work for all his hard work and dedication! They rewarded him (and his wife!) with a trip to Hershey. Jon left on Saturday the 21st of June and I left on Sunday. My mom stayed home with the kids (thanks again mom!). I was delayed by 3 hours getting in and did not arrive at the Hotel Hershey until 4am Monday morning! I felt bad for Jon because he had to be up at 6:30 for meetings! The hotel was beautiful! The rooms were small but the rest of the Hotel made up for it. That morning I went shopping at the outlet mall. I treated myself to a new Coach purse! It's a good thing there is not a Coach outlet anywhere near home, because I would be in trouble! They were having a sale and I got a really good deal on a cute purse! I bought the kids some presents and then went back to the hotel to have lunch. I sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather and the gorgeous view. It was also really nice when the check came to say, "Charge it to my room!" Jon's company paid for everything for us. It was really nice! That night was the Awards Banquet. It was a dressy occasion and was in a nice ballroom in the hotel. It was nice to finally meet all of the executives from Jon's company and put faces with names. I met everyone from the CEO to the Senior Vice President. They were all very nice and I'm glad I got the chance to meet them. I got a little nervous as we found our seats and the Senior VP was at our table. Then I got even more nervous when I saw the menu. Lobster Bisque with Sea Scallops, Filet Mignon and Crab Cakes! The filet part was ok, but I do not eat seafood of any kind! I wasn't sure what to do. Jon told me to just tell the waitress I didn't want any seafood. So, I did and everything was fine. Because I didn't get a crab cake, they served me 2 filets. One was perfectly cooked well done, just the way I like it! :) The other was medium...I didn't eat that one! (I know I'm crazy!) The awards ceremony was very nice and I was very happy for Jon. We had a great trip!
