Hello from Oglebay! As part of our family Christmas tradition, we're staying the night, taking in all of the "Christmassy" sounds and sights. Oglebay is such an awesome place to take a child, let me tell you. Our son is beside himself with excitement!
Dinner is soon, so it's time to hit the "publish" button. We're going to hit the swimming pool, too!
Fun!
Update 12/23/07: Never again! The people in the next room had their television on at a high volume. Not only that, four calls to the main desk resulted in nothing being done about it. The only thing we were offered was another room with a freaking futon bed. I declined. It wasn't until after 1:00 AM that the idiot next door shut off his television, AFTER returning to his room. Yes, that's right! He left his television on while he was down at the bar (I heard him in the hallway on a return trip from the front desk). What an idiot, as he also slammed doors all night. Teenagers from other rooms running in the hallways all night. Forget staying at Oglebay ever again.
And a big "fuck you" "screw you" goes to the guy who stayed in the room next to us with the television on at sky high volume. I hope you fall on an icy sidewalk and break one of your arms, you no good, self-important, rude, belligerent sonuvabitchin' asshole human being (think I'm bitter?).
After much complaining the next morning during check out at the front desk, I did get get 1/2 the bill knocked off. Not enough to satisfy me. I will be composing a letter to the powers-at-be who run Oglebay. I've desperately tried to like Oglebay, and stuff like this just does not help the situation at all. If it weren't for our son, we'd never go.
