My summer vacation

Aug 27, 2009 22:51

Highlights include:

1. Taking my wife to the emergency room after she sprained her ankle
2. Dealing with a flat tire on my car
3. Dealing with a flat tire on my wife's car
4. Having several relatives comment on how much weight I have gained

We did spend 2 days at a Great Wolf Lodge in PA, which turned out not being such a bad thing. The Great Wolf Lodge has an indoor water park attached to it, and since my wife could not put weight on her sprained ankle, being in the water was one of the better places she could be. We were able to toss her into the wave pool and the lazy river and she could float around with the best of them.

The thing that I was most impressed about was that when you checked in, they would give the adults a waterproof wristband with an RFID chip in which you could use to get into your room and buy pretty much anything there and have it charged to your room. So, when I went to the water park, I didn't have to figure out where to leave my wallet, or go back to the room if I needed money. Nope, I just needed to wave my magic wristband in front of the cashier the ridiculously overpriced food or merchandise was all mine. I was very impressed with how easy they made it for me to give them my money. It was sheer brilliance, I tell ya.
