Today was the big drive to finish up our adventure.  The first stop was Scranton, PA, home of The Office.  First, we ate at Alfredo’s Pizza CafĂ© (Not Pizza By Alfredo).

After that we went on the hunt for Scranton landmarks.  Here’s two excerpts from the show for your reference:

You may notice that this sign looks out of place.  We were told by a local that this is because the sign was causing traffic problems on the highway as people stopped to take pictures in front of it.  That’s why it’s now in the Steamtown Mall (not too far from the Victoria’s Secret that Michael took the girls to.)

After that, it was off to Hershey, PA to learn about chocolate.  Here’s Calvin and Steph hanging out with a mural of Mr. Hershey himself.

But Calvin’s favorite part of the trip had to be the chocolate factory tour.  Check out this face:

And now we’re home.
