1997 – Lake Wallenpaupack
























• Karen finds a place with cabins on a lake in the Poconos.  She warns of rustic conditions.  Family givea her the green light to make plans
• Cabin décor is a 1960’s kind of rustic – shag carpets and mirrors.  They appear to have been unused and (and not cleaned) for 20 years.
• Alex attends his first family vacation.  Maria feeds him his first cheerios
• We catch some bad weather – but the place does have an indoor pool and hot tub  - if you feel your immunities are high enough
• On the sunniest day, we rent a party boat and tour the lake with drinks and the evening’s appetizers
• During an evening charades game, we are left with a visual image of Wes gyrating like an exotic male dancer
• Mark’s proudest moment – Wes sings karaoke at the night club
• Mark’s second proudest moment – Wes and Austin playing bumper cars with the rented jet skis
• Feeling somehow responsible for the bad weather and location, Karen hands out gifts at the end of the vacation
