We're just back from a long weekend in the Poconos where we met up with our good friends, Lisa & Scott, from DC. Hard to believe my parents honeymooned here. And sorry to disappoint you all that we did NOT have a heart-shaped or champagne glass tub in our room.
Visited some very interesting places including the Alpine Wurst and Meat Shop in Honesdale Pa, when they have pretty much every conceivable kind of meat available. Delicious food...you can order meat online: http://www.thealpineonline.com/ I had the roast beef...and make sure you try the sweet potato pancakes with sour cream. Suffice it to say there were plenty of sausage jokes and "that's what she said" jokes (in fact, more than enough) to go around.
Also had a wonderful dinner at The Settlers Inn in Hawley Pa. Phenomenal food and great atmosphere...entirely unexpected and delightful place in the midst of many mediocre eating establishments. It also has a B&B if you're ever in the area: http://www.thesettlersinn.com/
Don't miss Callie's Candy Kitchen & Pretzel Factory in Mountainhome, Pa: http://www.calliescandy.com/ If you can, catch the candy presentation by Mr. Callie himself...very entertaining guy. You'll spend more money than you thought possible on candy, but who doesn't like chocolate?!?
We're not much for antiques, but we did check out Castle Antiques & Reproductions...you can see that Dave had fun. I had the most tremendous allergic reaction to all of the dust...wear your SARS mask!

Don't leave us hanging--we'd like specific sausage jokes, not allusions to them :)
