Woohoo! The van is gassed up, the bags are just about packed, and the sister-in-law has been bribed to look after the kitties and turtles. Hitting the road tomorrow morning for nine wonderful days in the Poconos!
A few days at the in-laws’ vacation cabin, and then nearly a week at Ceasar’s Cove Haven resort (kittenlm and I honeymooned there, so we decided to spend our fifth anniversary [July 10th] there)…daaaamn, I’m psyched! 
In the meanwhile, I’d ask that you all please refrain from starting interesting threads, and making any particularly brilliant posts (I’d hate to miss anything). 
Enjoy the holiday, all!*
*Non-American Dopers, please forgive the Merkin-centricness. You have a good time too. 
Hey! Piece of cake!
Give kittenlm a big kiss from me! Or even from you!Happy Anniversary you two!!!
When you have the time, please take a moment and remember what you’re celebrating, and recall the souls lost producing and defending it.
Believe me, Exgineer, coming from a family with a looong history of military service, holidays such as this do not pass by without reflection.
The reminder is always helpful, though.
Go to Barley Creek! Go to Barley Creek!
Enjoy the vacation.
:eek:
Damnit, Casey, I’m a red-blooded American! And I have red-blooded American beer tastes! As such, I want nothing but the most medicore, mass-produced pisswater the gargantuan breweries have to offer. Don’t you know these small breweries, with all their commitment to “taste” and “flavor” are all a front for a buncha commies??
They can have my Miller Lite when they pry it from my cold, dead-passed-out-drunk hands.
But…but…their food is excellent! At least it was the last couple of times I went there.
OK, then how about The Pocono Brewing Company? I ate there only once, but the food, again, was fantastic! They have Miller Lite there, too.
Hmm…may be a bit off of our path. But thanks for the tip nonetheless. What I’m looking forward to is a return to the Apple Valley Restaurant in Milford…yuuuuuuummy!
And that’s that. Time to hit the road. Have a great week, all!
