Today we were going to just sit and be lazy. Instead we called ahead for reservations for this coming week-end and next week. We found out both places only take cash so we found the nearest bank for us and drove there and cashed a check. That took the whole morning.
It was hot and humid so we thought we would have an early dinner, then go to Hershey Gardens. We arrived at the Gardens about 5:00 p.m. It was still warm but the sun was going down so it was an enjoyable time to take a walk in the gardens. We picked up the self guided tour map and proceeded into the gardens. Wow, I must say the gardens were impressive. They have large rose gardens, conifer tree gardens and so much more. The children's garden was nice and I think all my grand-daughters would have loved it. We had a guided tour of the Butterfly Pavilion, learned all about butterfly eggs, larva and pupas. Also very informative and interesting. We talked to 2 guys who were filming with a TV camera. They have been creating a documentary of many private gardens in the US. They are now planning on visits to both Hendrick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids and the Dow Garden in Midland, Michigan.
We finished the gardens about 6:30 and we were hot and tired so we headed back to the campground right away to enjoy the a/c.
