The circular yurt had a double bed and a bunk bed.

Then we had a picnic on the adjacent beach (no swimming allowed).

The kids made sand castles and ran around in the water.

The quick, easy drive into Philadelphia was a breeze.

We parked at the very large and convenient Visitor Center.

Grab your free tickets to see Independence Hall right away as they can run out.

If you visit in the summer I recommend taking advantage of thestory benchesfor information & direction to your visit.

If not, you could walk all the historic part, but you will miss some of the information.

We dida hop-on-hop-off busto get a complete tour of the city.

The town is small and perfect for 1-2 day get-away.

Here is what we did:

13.

It took us about 6 hours to get here from Hershey.

We had never been to an indoor waterpark before and we had an amazing time!

Even 19 month old Tinkerbell would squeal when she got to go in the water!

We stayed in the Family Cabin Room which was wonderful.

Our favorite was Alberta Falls tallest tube slide.

The lazy river didnt really move, but other than that it was a lot of fun.

The lodge has life vests the kids could use for free all my kids wanted one!

At 8pm we went to the clock show/story time.

Violet (dressed up wolf character) helped read the story to the kids.

It was a nice end to the evening.

You are not suppose to bring in outside food.

Revolutionary War Family Vacation

It wasnt exactly what it looked like on their web page, but we had fun.

You feed the animals from your cup, inside your car.

You wouldnt want them to take a bite of your finger thinking its a carrot!

Chocolate World Hershey PA

Mainly you will feed llamas, deer,and moose.

It did buff out for us & was hilarious!

I want them to explore the natural beauty and history within our 50 states.
