More vacation

There is a certain recipe for a perfect vacation.. it must have adventure, family, good food and include a body of water. For the perfect Stimpson vacation it must also include what is called a "cottage cake". It is a moist chocolate cake topped with a rich cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with lots of love. This is a family tradition that has a history that dates back to Kurt's childhood.

So far we have met all of the criteria for a perfect vacation even if the adventure has not been the type we would have chosen. We thought that is would be a blast to put all of the kids into the double person whirlpool tub for their baths. After they had all been soaped down we decided to turn on the jets and let the kids enjoy. What we had not realized is that the water was not high enough and the jets sent water all over the room like a power washer. As we were screaming for the 6 year old to turn it off he turned it off and then back on. To say the least we had a blast attempting to clean it up..
