Heading to Hershey
A dear friend from my time in Houston is visiting her native Pennsylvania. Our plans for meeting up, of course, involve chocolate and lots of it. That means only one thing: We have to go to Hershey. A visit to Chocolate World is on the menu, but so is a girlie Cocoa Facial Experience. –Alice Levitt, food editor/critic

The River Mild
I’d love to take a dinner cruise and see Washington from the water. I’ve never seen the famous cherry blossoms here, and they should be in full bloom. And gliding along the Potomac with glimpses of the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument just sounds like a lovely way to spend an evening. –Kelly Kendall, editor

March Madness
Since last year’s NCAA Basketball tournament was canceled, you could say I’m pumped about this year’s games.  With the first round in the books (and my bracket worse off than I would like to admit), I’m just hoping I get a month full of close games, overtime, and upsets. –Michele Kettner, associate digital and research editor
