JELLYSTONE

We went to Quarryville, PA last week and stayed at a Jellystone Park (along with the characters of Yogi Bear and Boo Boo,etc). It was really great. These parks have so much to offer for kids. We were able to spend 5 nights and this included pedal carts, playground, basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, volleyball, arcade, jumping pillow,pool, and the best treat of all was the waterpark! On the weekends they also have activities scheduled for the kids. The cost for 5 days was a little over $3oo.00, but this also included 5 passes to the waterpark. I think this is an awesome vacation, especially if you have kids. Go HERE to check out the other Jellystone Parks around. There are 3 in NC and 1 in Florida. Speaking from personal experience, it's well worth it and to us it is a nice frugal vacation for a family of 5. We not only enjoyed the campground this year, we also went back to Hershey Park (AWESOME and can not even come close to Carowinds or Six Flags), Strasburg railroad, Udvar Museum in Chantilly, Va, and drove around in Lancaster county enjoying the Amish country. We really enjoy it up there, but I guess next year is the long awaited Disney World trip if everything goes as planned. Phil and I could wait forever on that, BUT the kids are the reason we are going. Year after next is a trip to Williamsburg and hopefully we can sneak a Hershey Park trip in then too along with cruising Lancaster county.

this was the last day on our way out to go to Chantilly. Vaa view of the waterpark

one of the activities was a chocolate slip-n-slide with Hershey chocolate of course
the jumping pillow, which we all enjoyed (including Phil)
