Hello and good day!

For today’s activity, we will be doing Find Me A Pic Of!

With it being summer time, let’s do it based on Vacation! This can be a vacation you have been on, one you are going on, or just your dream vacation! And because I am obsessed with seeing as many cultures and places as I can, let’s pretend you are taking all of us HP’ers along!

Rules:

You must include at LEAST 5 images;

1. Where are we going?

2. Where will we be staying?

3. What will we be eating?

4. What will we be drinking?

5. What activity(s) will we be doing?

Prize: $3 mill HPD. You know the rules; prize is per player not per account (only 1 post per player please!).

This activity will close at 9:30am tomorrow July 12th!

Since I'm highly anticipating Halloween, we're going to.... SALEM, MASSACHUSETTSES!



We're staying in a spooky Airbnb!



We will have some themed meals, like these pumpkin stuffed peppers!



And some matching drinks, like Witch's Brew!



In addition to shopping our asses off, we're going on some haunted tours of graveyards!

Mine is my real vacation coming up in a week and a half!

1. We're going to [Ocean City!]

2. We're staying at the [Francis Scott Key] [Family Resort.]

3. I love pub food, especially Irish pub food. So here's [Finnigan's Irish Pub] and their full menu. I'm a sucker for things like Guiness cheddar dip and pretzels. Never been there before and I don't know if my husband and I will actually go there or not, but we'll see.

4. Brass Balls Saloon has a cool looking drink menu. Again, never been there before and I don't know that my husband and I will actually go in RL, but it looks cool for the purpose of this activity. I'm getting the Nuts&Berries shake or the Blue Balls frozen lemonade. https://i.imgur.com/0BJwnPA.png

5. Definitely spending a lot of time on the [beach.] There is [miniature golf and a huge outdoor pool and hot tub] as well as an [indoor pool with water slide and hot tub] at the resort.

But the main reason we're going here is the Chincoteague annual pony swim: https://i.imgur.com/fqJfDKl.png I've wanted to see this since I was a kid reading Marguerite Henry's books and watching the movie Misty. So my husband bought me this vacation back in February for my birthday. It's been a long time coming, but I finally get to use it in a week and a half! We were supposed to go a few years ago and then covid happened and the pony swim was cancelled and cancelled for the following years.

My husband can't put up with a horsey vacation without some sort of historical visit, so we're going to [Independence Hall] where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the liberty bell still stands. (Yes, I married a nerd!)

Lets go to Nashvill Tennessee!

2. We will be staying at Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville - Music City Center.

3. We will be eating Chicken Burgers with fries. 

4. We will be drinking Rasberry Lime Vodka Cocktails.

5. We will be going to visit Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

Let’s head off to New York City!

I don’t think food will be a problem in NYC, but I really want to try Mary O’s for some soda bread:

I also want to stop at Fraunces Tavern! It’s the actual tavern where Washington and his generals celebrated after they won the war. So we can go drinking there. ;)
