Finally made it through reading the posts for the weekend & trying not to laugh too loudly. I must say, at least the Bernesser boys do provide some laughs – even though they are a bit immature. It definitely takes a special person to marry into this family!!
Anyway, my weekend went well. Left work about 3:30 Friday, met others leaving at the driver’s house and were on the road by 5. After a quick stop at Wendy’s for dinner, we made it to our destination in Bloomsburg by 9. We then played poker for a while until everyone was really tired & just wanted the game to be over. I must say, by the end, even with $120 at stake, it is amazing how much you don’t care if you win or lose. In the morning on Saturday, first I learned a little bit about feeding horses & cleaning stalls (the people whose house we were staying at live in a log cabin, which was really nice, and have 2 horses). I even got to feed them carrots. Then we went to an amusement park (Knoebels) – it has free admission & is an old fashioned amusement park. The nice thing about it is that it had free admission. I was probably the most daring rider there, so did not get to ride everything I wanted. There were 2 rides that were VERY cool and I really wish Kennywood had them. You really go flying around in the air and get turned all around. They even had salt & pepper shakers, but I only found them on the way out and no one else was daring enough to ride. John volunteered, but I was afraid he would get sick all over me, so did not subject him (or me) to that!! I even picked up a couple more pennies. Sat. night was a mexican place for dinner and more poker. After the about 4 hours of sleep the previous night, it was not a good idea to play again the next night, especially so late. I was one of the last 2 in & essentially threw the game because everyone was so tired & the other girl left was getting really cranky & I was afraid of her. Sunday I realize that my lips got burnt on Saturday. Good thing I was wearing long sleeves or I would have been burnt on my arms!
It rained Sunday and after a little more feeding of horses, we went to brunch at Crakelbarrel & hit the road. That was my weekend in a nutshell. Not a bad drive. Hope to make a trip back in July.
