N Is For Niagara Falls

It was a cool, June morning, I had my bags packed and ready to go, and just like that I was on the road to Niagara Falls! We started by getting up at five O'clock in the morning.I remember waking up to the smell of french toast, bacon, and eggs. We packed our bags in the truck, then hit the road!

After about an hour of driving on the bumpy city roads we finally hit the smooth highway to Pennsylvania. Once we got to Pennsylvania ,we ate lunch then headed to the Hershey’s Chocolate Factory. I remember when I walked in those doors to the factory I could smell the sweet cocoa and just hear the laughter of hundreds of kids. We got to watch a short film on how Hershey’s chocolate, came to be and how much money was made. They had a cafe with a forest scenery and a beautiful pond flowing through the trees and plants. We got to eat all the free chocolate we wanted! I loved the sweetness of the chocolate melting in my mouth. It was a delicious stop on the road to Niagara Falls!

Our next stop was the famous Crayola Factory! When we walked in those big, colorful doors you could smell wax and excitement. We got to sit in a room that kind of looked like a theater. In the front of the room was a glass pane ,and behind that glass they were showing us how they make and wrap crayons. The process was really simple but yet interesting. Next, we moved on to the next room. In that room there were giant crayons with holes cut in the sides and in those holes there were different colors of melted wax. We all got a piece of paper and a stick and with that stick we got to dip it in that simmering, hot wax. Using the stick we drizzled the colorful wax all over the rough, thick paper. We had to wait for it to dry and when it did ,was like a 3-...

...headed home. On our way home we stopped by the glass museum. It was amazing it was filled with beautiful glass art pieces. I almost broke some but I avoided that. There was this stand that we went to and it was a guy sculpting melted glass. It was so fascinating how swiftly and fast he did it, he made it look so easy.

Finally, we stopped by the western museum. It was a very interesting stop. It had so many old western paintings, weapons and statues. I got to buy a cowgirl hat that was really cool. We did a scavenger hunt there in the museum and then we left, I had a great time.

Over all I had an amazing trip to Niagara Falls! I got to spend time with my family and we all had fun. I had new experiences that I could now share with others and I’m pretty sure my family does also. This is the trip I will never forget.
