Pennsylvania Family Vacation

Posted: 8/19/2010

It's a bright idea to get enough vitamin D in your diet even if you can't always get out into the sun.

(NAPSI) - Families can experience "3 American Originals In 1 Sweet Vacation" by staying in Pennsylvania's Hershey Harrisburg Region. Long recognized as the home to Hershey--the town built on chocolate--and Harrisburg--the state's capital city--this region is centrally located for convenient day trips to both the Pennsylvania Dutch (Amish) communities in Lancaster and the national Civil War battlefields in Gettysburg.

This "hub & spoke" approach to travel, first popularized with group tours, provides similar benefits for individual families that want to experience multiple destinations within a close proximity, but without moving hotels.

Parents find that day trips from Hershey or Harrisburg to Gettysburg and Lancaster are an easy way for their kids to enjoy all the fun attractions Hershey and Harrisburg offer while adding a day or two for learning about Civil War history and Amish culture.
