I know everybody had major plans for this Chol Ha’moed,

you really end up doing?
I started by cooking up a storm in the kitchen, proceded to eat much
of said storm, then realized I put on some weight, so went hiking,
next day went shopping. Im going to concert on wed nite B”H.

October 7, 2009 9:20 am at 9:20 am #661866haifagirlParticipantWill this get past the mods? I went to a film festival 3 times. The first 2 times to see the free Charlie Chaplin movies. The 3rd time to attend a “master class” given by Elliott Gould. The Chaplin films were good, anyway.

Spent time with my grandfather, took the kids to a park etc. Nothing too exciting.
October 8, 2009 5:15 am at 5:15 am #661881mybatMemberOoh! Pookie how was the shopping?
October 8, 2009 1:11 pm at 1:11 pm #661882A600KiloBearParticipantBS”D
I played with a real, live 600 kilo bear and fed it three kiddushes worth of herring so it would not eat me.
Then I gave a shiur on “Burning your sukkah for fun and profit” al pi nevelus birshus hatoire d’Chassidus Creedmoor.
And if you believe that, I am also making kiddush on a four liter jug of zechs un ninetziger, straight from the hardware store, Simchas Torah night.
October 8, 2009 2:31 pm at 2:31 pm #661883yoshiMemberSJSinNYC, Mazal Tov!
We were able to take off from work, school, and training, for one day to have a family outing! The zoo, park, and arts & crafts. Yay!

October 8, 2009 9:07 pm at 9:07 pm #661890WolfishMusingsParticipantis is just me or did any of you learn that its assur to shop on chol hamoed?
If so, then I’m in trouble, since I just went out and shopped for peppers, mushrooms, a cucumber, corn and Bacos for lunch. 🙂

October 8, 2009 9:39 pm at 9:39 pm #661892NY MomMemberToday’s outing: The Atlantis Aquarium in Riverhead (Long Island). Nice place, especially for little children. But a bit of a schlep from NYC.
October 8, 2009 9:49 pm at 9:49 pm #661893mchemtobMemberwe jut got back from a 2 day trip to baltimorte 3.5 hours away but no need to pack food minyanim in abundance my kids loved the b&o railroad museum and the aquarium there is the best i’ve ever seen. well worth the schlep

The Jerusalem Biblical Zoo

October 8, 2009 9:53 pm at 9:53 pm #661895skatesMemberYou are also allowed to shop if you will wear the piece of clothing on yom tov…so if u find a nice outfit to wear for simchas torah…then its allowed!
October 8, 2009 10:00 pm at 10:00 pm #661896NY MomMemberNo dolphins, but they do have a nice sea lion show, a really hands-on petting pool for stingrays (you can even feed them if you want!), and a very creative decor. They also had outdoor exhibits of otters and penguins. And even have diving with the sharks available – for a small fee of aprrox. $150, if you’re into that kind of thing!
October 8, 2009 10:33 pm at 10:33 pm #661897mybatMemberUh…. Bygirl who said they went shopping? Pookie just said she was in jersey gardens.
October 8, 2009 11:30 pm at 11:30 pm #661898mepalMemberAnd even have diving with the sharks available – for a small fee of aprrox. $150…
Seems like a bit of a ‘fee’ to me 😉
October 8, 2009 11:52 pm at 11:52 pm #661899outoftownerMemberTurtleback zoo 🙂 in west orange new jersey.. Free on tuesdays after 2… Met the whole world there.
October 8, 2009 11:55 pm at 11:55 pm #661900NY MomMemberMchemtob: Have you ever been to the aquarium in Camden, NJ? Baltimore’s aquarium is beautiful, but I was also really impressed by the one in Camden. It is on par with Baltimore, if not better!
It is also a bit of a schlep from NYC, as it is just over the border from Philadelphia, but well worth it! (Just don’t venture around Camden itself, as that not a safe city.) And there is kosher food in nearby Cherry Hill, NJ, as well as, Philadelphia.
October 9, 2009 1:54 am at 1:54 am #661901NY MomMembermepal: I should have said “small” (in quotes), as I was being facetious and myself would consider this a colossal waste of money!
October 9, 2009 2:25 am at 2:25 am #661902mchemtobMembernymom – no have never been to camden but thanks for the tip we were talking about a trip to cherry hill because there is kosher and it’s a jump to philly (I think) so now i’ll make note of the aquarium too thanks!!
October 9, 2009 3:23 am at 3:23 am #661903NY MomMemberMchemtob:You’re very welcome! Glad to be of help!
One other point of interest: There is also a battleship docked near the Camden aquarium, and they allow visitors to walk through. I believe it’s on the NJ side. This may or may not be of interest to you, but thought I’d mention it.
October 9, 2009 3:25 am at 3:25 am #661904mepalMemberNY Mom: Oh. I thought you left out a dot and it should’ve been 1.50. lol.
October 9, 2009 3:30 am at 3:30 am #661905YW Moderator-72ParticipantThursday: Collected more seashells on the beach at Asbury Park, NJ.

October 9, 2009 3:57 am at 3:57 am #661907bein_hasdorimParticipantWow! looks like you guys had a great time!
It’s nice to see how creative we can get (mod 72)
all the many different ideas that make us all unique.
Jax: I went to the Avraham Fried/ Lipa Concert in Brooklyn College.
Lemme tell you It was Awesome they were well prepared & although they
have generally different styles they were very in sync & meshed well.
there was also an extraordinary amount of humor between them.
The yiddish speaking oilem chapped major hanohoh!
A fried sang aleh katan dedicating it to Gilad Shalit,
ending the song with a touching….
“Tachzik Chazak, ~Gilad Shalit!”
I’ll maybe give a whole drasha later about how much I enjoyed the Concert.
mazca: sorry 2 hear! well at lest u didnt sit around doing nothing.
SJSinNYC: Mazel Tov
mominisrael: i’m soo jealous!
October 9, 2009 4:34 am at 4:34 am #661908mybatMemberOops! Sorry pookie!

bein_hasdorim – it wasn’t so creative… It was loaded with yidden, we could have had a beautiful mincha minyon…

Then I *really* in trouble. The things I bought (peppers, mushrooms, corn and cucumbers) were not on sale and will be available after Yom Tov. 🙂
