NEAFS

This week I had to go to the Northeastern Association of Forensic Scientists (NEAFS) annual conference. Luckily, it was in a pretty easy location for me: Hershey, PA. That's only about 1.5 hours from where I live, so that's not too shabby. I arrived there on Sunday, and then I got to come home last night. The conference and accommodations for the conference were at the Hershey Lodge, which was pretty darn cool and adorable. They give you Hershey bars with EVERYTHING - when you check-in, with room service, when the maid cleans your room... It's a lot of chocolate. I tried to take lots of pictures of the hotel room and some of the cool stuff around the Hershey Lodge, so I hope you enjoy the pictures!

This was me enjoying my room service while watching the football game. The sandwich was sooo good (it was a grilled cheese made with fresh mozzarella and tomato), but it came with coleslaw which was soooo gross. Luckily I'd also ordered a salad to go with my sandwich. And that's my goblet of milk by the TV. Yes, I drink milk (and usually order it with my room service whenever I'm traveling for work). 

Here's the Hershey bar (and a fresh daisy!) that came with my room service. 

The wallpaper in the bathroom had Hershey Kisses all over it! So cute. 

The toiletries were AMAZING. They were all made with chocolate, and I got to walk around all day smelling like chocolate. 

The sheets had Hershey Kisses on them too, but it was very subtle so I had trouble capturing it in a photo. I had to get the light reflecting off it just right! Hopefully you can see it.

This was a baby that was attending the conference... That was definitely a first for me. She was adorable and quite well-behaved, but I couldn't figure out why there was a baby at a Forensic Science conference... Luckily she was way too young to understand anything that was talked about, or any of the pictures that were shown during the conference. 

By the end of the conference, Hershey had started decorating for Christmas! 

This was a fireplace in the lobby, which I loved. I definitely sat here whenever I had 15 minutes or so to spare. It was a massive fireplace, with openings on all four sides of it, so people could sit on any side and have full access to the warmth and the pretty view.

I hope you're all doing well, and enjoying this amazing Fall weather!!  We're loving it. I can't believe we leave in just a few weeks for Belgium!! Crazy!!!
