The sweetest place on Earth is Hersheypark, and not just because of all the Hershey’s chocolate. It truly is a fun, family-friendly amusement park that is worth the two hour drive through rural Pennsylvania. Hersheypark started as a small retreat created by Milton Hershey for his factory workers. It was a small picnic site with a little pond where the workers could take a break from their job. This site sits between the Chocolate World building and the main entrance to Hersheypark with it’s iconic red and white striped mini lighthouse marking the location. The park opened to the public in 1907 and slowly grew to the park we enjoy today. It continues to grow each year with new rides added and older rides refurbished or replaced making sure that Hersheypark continues to please its patrons and continues to live up to its “Sweetest Place on Earth” reputation. Hersheypark is in rural Hershey, Pennsylvania right outside Harrisburg. It is a beautiful two hour drive from the Washington D.C. suburbs up route 15 through Gettysburg. Though there are other local amusement parks that are closer, the drive down 95 to Kings Dominion or up 95 to Six Flags is often riddled with traffic, especially beach traffic, during the summer months. One downside to this sweet experience is the cost …show more content…
Hershey opens in the spring for Springtime in the Park before the regular season. During Halloween it is open for Hersheypark in the Dark, and it is open during the Christmas holiday for Christmas Candylane. Season passholders can attend these events for free, and regular tickets are discounted. The tickets are typically discounted due to the fact that not all the rides are open during these special events. The park closes the waterpark and the bigger coasters and attractions as the weather gets colder. This is a good time to see the park with different decorations and different ride

The activities you can do in Busch Gardens Williamsburg are mostly ride the rollercoasters but you can also go play games and get face paint done. If you want to ride all of the roller coasters and do all of the games, you should stay 3-5 days, but if you are just interested in riding a few rides and play a few games then 1-1½ would probably be a good amount to stay. You would see a lot of people screaming on roller coaster and lots of roller coasters. You would see lots of food carts and lots of games that you could play.

Cedar Point is an amusement park visited by millions of people each year. I’ve been to Cedar Point a few times in my life and I always had so much fun there. What I never realized though, was how long ago it opened. I also thought that Cedar Point had always been just an amusement park. Soon I found out that I was wrong on both counts! I learned that there is a lot more history of Cedar Point, the roller coaster capital of the world, than I thought.
Another region relatively close to the Blue Ridge, the Appalachian Plateau, is a very nice place with the TAG corner and other famous sites, but many reasons would impair the park’s success. First of all, there are many fossils underground, meaning that an amusement park could possibly “erase history” and prevent certain discoveries from occurring. Most fossils also have a lot of limestone, meaning that the ground water is slightly acidic. This would make refreshments slightly unhealthy for the average consumer. Also, with acidic groundwater comes acidic soil, making it bad for crops and those who ingest
Sitting here and looking back, my life is pretty boring now compared to when I was younger, it was all fun, now as I'm growing up I realize not everything is easy, school is a lot more stressful. I was born here in Longmont colorado, my birthday is in June 3rd so I just turned 13. I am the youngest, yet still taller than my older sister, and two brothers.

Also I didn't have much friends when I was in elementary, something good about
The idea of fear can be frightening! but the idea of prospering is another. Welcome Mrs Mackay and students today is the discussion of risks and rewards. I will discover wether a risks can be beneficial, or dangerous to us and if it is worth it. Well with the help of Wonder and The Happiest Refuge we can see from the examples provided if it is worth the pain. Mark Zuckerberg said “The only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks” this statement from the millionaire of the company Facebook invites us into a discussion taking us into the true meaning of taking a risk and what us as humans can gain.

Envision a realm, filled with genderless inhabitants. A realm of pure bliss, where there is no such thing as “mankind and all beings are [biologically] equal. Now imagine an opposite realm, a realm in which Andrea Dworkin resided. Advocate turned author turned agitator. Andrea Dworkin was a heterodox feminist vanguard who paved a path of her own to support this women’s crusade. Defiant, confrontational and arguably offensive, she immersed herself into the tacit realm of patriarchy, seeking to enlighten and expose the sinister sexual methodologies of man that preserve the role of women as besmirched objects of male indulgence and exploitation. Her ideas and concepts of such is best expressed in Dworkin’s two earliest novels; Pornography: Men Possessing Women [1981] and Intercourse [1987]. Consecutively loved and loathed, Dworkin’s has exerted an important impact on the means and degree of male dominated sexuality and female oppression.
As I sit here, on the hood of my car looking out into the vast field I think to myself, why this place? Out of all the places that mean so much to me, why does this place stand out the most? Everyone has that one spot that is special to him or her for various reasons whether it be a memory, experience, how it makes them feel, etc. For me, my favorite place encompasses all my senses bringing them to an all time high filling me with an overwhelming indescribable feeling. It’s my sanctuary, a safe place, but above all a place to clear my mind and getaway from reality. There aren’t enough captivating words to describe the beauty of this place. In the winter, the vast field covered in a blanket of untouched glimmering snow surrounded by bare
