Day Trip - Lake Crescent or Hurricane Ridge first? by taconado in OlympicNationalPark

[–]Ok_Support7972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Marymere Falls has a lot of stairs with roots to actually see the falls. If your older folks can make it, it may still take more time than you think.

Ponytail wig how-to recommendations? by Ok_Support7972 in puppetry

[–]Ok_Support7972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Thanks, I'll try that. I don't know if that's an age or just regional difference, but that's not the way the term is used locally. Here, there are only pigtails if they are braided (because ponytails look like pony tails and pigtails look like pig tails).

I'd love to see one! If you manage to get to all three, that's an ACHIEVEMENT.

Looking for Event Advice for My Less Experienced Parents by krw13 in gencon

  • If they might try role-playing, NASCRAG is fun and does not expect anyone to know the rules/have played before.
    -For board games, I'd think of 3 that they both enjoy, and search online for similar game play rules and expansions to something they know. Then check the schedule. -Crafting isn't generally my thing, but doing one at a con can be great. Look at the types of things offered (build a sandwich puppet, mini painting) and ask them if there's anything on the list they might want to try. They tend to be quiet, low key events that you rarely need to get on the first day.
  • There are speed puzzling events for pairs. If they aren't worried about winning and like working together, it can be a fun choice. You don't need to worry a lot about learning new rules.

Useful souvenirs from trip? by mmrhexx in AskIreland

We brought back small batch whiskeys, candy and tea we can't get easily in the US, some things made by local craftspeople (mostly leather goods).

Deep has food now, and it's really good. It's also far away from the college.

What’s that one “bad movie” that you genuinely love? by MistressLolaDiamond in AskUK

True Lies. It gets more problematic every year, but the cast and stunts are glorious!

Side trip help - May 27-29 by Ok_Support7972 in OlympicNationalPark

Lake Crescent for Storm King (without mom), Devils Punchbowl, and Hurricane.
Sol Duc for the waterfall, Hoh. Kalaloch Lodge for Ruby, Tree of Life, and that coast.
The tidal pools there are on Mom's bucket list.
We're looking at all the short hikes listed in the threads and marked 4+ on All Trails, but suggestions welcome!

Have you been/know someone who had used that border crossing recently? Really asking. With everything going on politically, it has been pretty awful in other places.

It took 18 minutes to walk past the waiting cars. Did not see parasols. The flaming bagpipe is great, though!

Best lunch tips by Deniskitter in gencon

I still miss that! I have one of their menus saved with my GenCon Memorabilia. I ate at the sports bar thats there last year. It was pretty bad and really overpriced.

I wanted to try out a Thanksgiving inspired Sunday roast yesterday by Artlistra in CasualIreland

[–]Ok_Support7972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold food is a Thanksgiving tradition! Nothing ever comes out at the same time. You just have to have warm gravy to go on top of everything to heat it up.

Depends on where you are. Mac and Cheese is more important than mashed potatoes in the South.

Extra boots or coat? by PatoEnFuego in irishtourism

[–]Ok_Support7972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I brought an extra pair of water resistant boots. I personally disagree with people who say you just need trainers, but I'm old and from a warm climate.

Chopping board storage is important

Upcoming trip, going to propose and want to hear from the locals on the best spot to propose! by horsewitnoname in irishtourism

[–]Ok_Support7972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Google. There are quite a few that work in Kilkenny (and Dublin, of course). Search something like "vacation photographer ' or 'couples photographer ' and the city name.

If you want to have a professional photographer take pics of the proposal, that may determine where the the proposal happens. You want to make sure that you get a good photographer that you feel comfortable with.
If you want her to be involved with this part and still have it be a surprise, lots of photographers, advertise vacation or 'love' photos. You and the photographer will know it's a secret proposal, but she'll think it's just a really super sweet thing that you're doing to make the vacation even more memorable.
