GENEVIEVE WINS BIG

FOXWOODS!

We enjoyed the DOO WOPP concert with all the old performers. They still had a lot of ‘get up and go’ left in them and the performance was high energy. After the show we had a bite to eat and Genevieve tried her hand at making the big win! As you can see from the cashout stub we will have to return again to hit the jackpot.

The next day we drove to Boston and went to a small Italian restaurant in North Boston (Antico Forno) for Valentine’s dinner and had a great meal. We stayed in a new Hotel in Waltham (Cresent Suites Hotel, 287 Cresent St. Phone# 781 314 7900) that had recently opened and used the commuter train to get into and out of town. The Hotel was very reasonable, had very spacious rooms with separate kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom and two TV’s. It also had one of the best complimentary breakfasts’ we have ever eaten and the owner brewed us the perfect frothy cup of cappuccino! If you are ever in the area it is a great place to stay.

After Boston we continued on to Bangor with a brief shopping stop in Portland where they now have a Cabela’s. The store has a real airplane hanging from the ceiling. It is not as large as the one we visited in Texas but it is a great store. On the following day we went to see Stephen King’s home in Bangor before returning to Dartmouth, arriving just before the start of a major snowstorm. Niko and Zack are very happy that we have returned.

SUNDAY RIVER 2
February 17, 2010

We had a potluck supper with a group of our friends and were treated to a magic show by Paul Saulnier, one of the Club Ski30 members on the trip. It was great entertainment and we are still scratching our heads as to how he accomplished the tricks.

Genevieve really enjoyed the skiing and conquered a number of runs that intimidated her last year. On Friday we departed for the Foxwoods Casino to see a Doo Wopp Concert and arrived early evening. Driving through the backwoods of Maine can be a bit of a challenge, especially when they close a key road without posting any signs at the beginning of the route.
