To get from Saint Louis to Acadia by car means a fair amount of driving and high-fiving once we reach a new state: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania! Pittsburgh and Bryan were our end destinations for day 1.

Bryan, Eric, and Krystal -- Beaumont 3 together again!
Also, Eric is terrible at selfies. |

The wind gushes through here, so it will be even more poignant when the wind chimes are permanently deployed. People in photo for scale purposes.
Flight 93 Memorial Tower of Voices |

Most emotional National Park experience. Tears during all parts, including when reciting the Junior Ranger pledge.
Coming here is a must if going through Pennsylvania.

Followed up the emotional roller-coaster of Flight 93 by going to Hershey, PA. We now know all about how Hershey created milk chocolate and revolutionized the mass production of it. Thank you, free tour!
Hershey Chocolate World |

| We were loaded into a chocolate bar to take the tour. The whole floor spun (like we were on a Broadway stage) and then propelled us into the tour. Hershey has this procedure mastered -- we definitely felt like human cattle in the process. |

| Animatronic cows were the information source. That was more than a little disturbing. We need never return to Hershey again. |
