Trip from CT to GA

On the trip from CT to GA I made a stop in Easton, PA to go to the Crayola Crayon Factory.  Easton is a super cute old fashioned yet modern city.  There were a ton of tents set up on the circle of the city where vendors were selling everything from jewelry to farmers market foods. 

At the Crayola Crayon Factory I learned a few things:

            

Crayola has come around over the years to be culturally sensitive to people of all skin colors, which I LOVE!  (now only if Band-Aids would catch up... ever seen a Band-Aid that's flesh colored for a black person?  Didn't think so...)

I got to see the WORLD'S LARGEST CRAYON!

And, I made a new friend!

 After Easton, PA I drove to Hershey, PA to go to Chocolate World.  Chocolate World is on a property which also contains an amusement park that I did not go to.

Millions of KISSES!

After leaving Hershey I went to Shippensberg, PA to go to Tiny Town.  Shippensberg is a very small, very rural farming community.  Tiny Town is in some guy's back yard.  You can tell that at one time it was very well cared for, but has been neglected for a while now.  I almost felt invasive getting out of my car, walking on some guy's private property, and taking pictures of his "tiny town".  It is just a series of miniature buildings, similar to doll houses but a little bigger, and even the insides of the building are (were) decorated with detail.

It was an odd little place with an entrance that read "Look, but don't touch.  Donations".    I left $2 in the little drop box and left.  I drove another hour or so to Stranton (?) VA and stayed the night at a Comfort Inn.  The only rooms they had left were smoking, which I wouldn't have preferred, but the continental breakfast the following morning made up for it!!!
