We had no real plan for our Honeymoon other than a direction (somewhat) and a few locations to stop at and anything else we happened to come across on the way. First stop, Zippo factory/museum combo Pennsylvania Welcome Center.
Not much here in terms of visitor information. Oh well. Next, we drove to Freeland, PA. It was a small town and the people there kind of kept staring at us. Obviously we weren't locals. We ate at a cute pizza place and the food was good.
It was getting to be around 7:00 so we headed towards our next destination and would stop somewhere in our Room Saver book on the way for the lodging. Although we weren't anywhere dangerous Luke told me "no running" in the morning since the only road was basically highway.
On the agenda for day two was the Yuengling Brewery and Hershey's Chocolate factory tour and of course, anything we happened to come across. The Brewery was very interesting.
It is America's oldest brewery... and can be called that since during Prohibition they were still allowed to make Porter since it was deemed healthy for pregnant women to drink providing nutrients, etc. In order to obtain the drink though they needed a doctor's note. Yuengling also operated an ice cream place across the street (which is there but no longer in use).They have a stained glass window over the kettle since the workers complained about the glare off the copper and it allowed light in but filtered the blinding light.
They also took us down into the cave (which is no longer in use) and let us all take a bung (the cork type thing that used to be used in kegs after they were filled).
The strange part of our tour was the fact that the girl giving the tour was 20 so she couldn't even recommend a brew at the end for people to try. I tried their Yuengling Premium (it was good) and then had a root beer (I believe they called it birch bark). After we drove not too far to Hershey for some chocolate.
Can we say yummy BOGO milkshake lunch thanks to my printing a coupon at home? It wasn't what we expected, but there was definitely a lot of goodies to buy if we wanted. We wanted too, but it was so darn hot that it would have melted horribly in the car.
After, we drove towards Philly in search of a hotel. Philly was one of the places we knew we wanted to visit on our multi-state adventure. Our hotel was phenomenal (a suite at more than half off thank you room saver). Once we checked in we went out to dinner at Maggiano's. Knowing we would be at our hotel for another night and their great left overs and our kitchenette it was fantastic.
We determined where the center of the room was and he drilled a hole in the ceiling. Then he climbed into the attic and sawed a bigger hole so we could insert the mounting bracket to secure the fan. Little scary hearing him move around the attic and seeing the ceiling wiggle as he cut. 
Next, we (Papa Bear mostly) had to run the electric to the fan from the outlet in the room (I selected the one that operates off the switch). This involved getting the wire through the wall and then he stapled it up the internal attic access cubby. At least that was the plan until he dropped his hammer and it went between the drywall of the stairs, lost! He plans to retrieve it with a giant magnet someday. Some pain in the neck ceiling fan installation directions later, a flip of the circuit breaker, fingers crossed, and let there be light!
I love the fan and how it lights up the room rather than needing 3 lamps. Thanks Papa Bear for another home improvement project at our house!
