A snowy weekend

We went to Fargo for a convention (only the Man actually had meetings - the Man-Cub and I just played)...

We stayed at a big all inclusive hotel - that had a huge play/pool area and restaurants in the hotel as the Man-Cub and I wouldn't have any transportation other than our feet...

They had this pirate ship with all the slides coming off of it - it was a lot of fun!
This is the Man-Cub head first and backwards splashing down at the end of the slide...
We walked over to the Roger Maris museum - very interesting...
The Man-Cub playing with one of the exhibits...


More Roger Maris stuff...
The Man-Cub is barely visible through the glass - he's watching an informational video about Roger Maris...
Y'all know that we don't own any Nintendo/Playstation/Xbox sort of games - but when we're 'on vacation' and the hotel has them we play - the Man-Cub is actually quite good - here he gets to put in his initials for the high score...
...as he played the game (we rented an hour of games) he got better and got to put his initials in about the first 5 slots...

We played pool in the games room...
This is an arcade game in the game room - it's pretty neat - you actually sit on a motorcycle and lean into the curves - it has a regular handlebar with a throttle and brake too - FUN! - but it makes me sort of carsick...
This game was called Galaxian - and the Man was actually quite good at it back in the day - it's an old 80's arcade game - here the Man gives the Man-Cub some pointers...
I'm always amazed at how easily the Man-Cub makes friends - during the three days we were here he befriended and played with several boys for hours - Mama is not 'needed' like she used to be (that just leaves more time for poolside knitting)...
We played Air Hockey too - Man is that a noisy game...

The Man-Cub 7 Mama 3 - obviously not my 'game'...
A poorly clad Man-Cub - I definitely didn't pack for a winter storm...
The scene outside our hotel - a lot of white stuff and 25 mile per hour winds - we stayed an extra night to avoid driving home in it...
This was the scene the next morning on the way home - a pretty spring day that will melt all the snow...

  3. We saw Fargo weather on Sunday and wondered if you would get home in time to get Jack. I guess he enjoyed another day at kennel. Looks like you had a lot of fun. E
