Vacation snippets

Some other random things:

- Went to Ben & Jerry's on Tuesday with the kids. Frankly, the tour itself wasn't much, but they do give you a free sample at the end. This trip it was Dublin Mudslide, which didn't sound like something I'd like, but it was terrific. After several taste spoons by Mrs., she settled on Turtle Soup (which I had been looking at before) and I got Apple-y Ever After, which was very good.

- The improv group performing one night was decidedly average. They were not helped by the drunken Trailer Park denizen sitting in front of me who kept interrupting them loudly.

- The small problem of the mountain pass being closed meant getting to the resort involved a 50 minute roundabout route. That's why we only left the resort once during the week.

- Hot chocolate (kosher!) at the bottom of the main ski hill everyday at 3:30 was a wonderful concept.

- The sales pitch for the timeshare was very tempting, and we may yet take the plunge if we can ever hit even a small lottery jackpot. Mrs. was very tempted, but I need more time to think it over.

Anyway, it was nice to have a real vacation, and one where everyone was sure they had a good time. I've been on too many where you just can't wait to get home, and this wasn't like that.
