I tried to plan a family vacation in that area last season, but none of the hotels or B&B's I called allowed kids under the age of 12. So, since I have 3 boys under the age of 12, we didn't go there. Probably never will because a rule like that is just lame.

The people sounded very hoity-toity.
Well, BW claims to be a "family resort," which now translates into the Kennedy's. It used to be geared towards all members of the family so I'm surprised that they are not allowing kids anymore. In a short period of time their holiday day rate went from like $42 to now almost $60 and IT'S STILL 1500 VERTICAL FEET!!! They're trying to be everything that they are not I guess....but they've succeeded in brainwashing people from Boston.

It is in a nice location, DMC. I grew up in the NEK in the shadow of Burke...going home was nice on Friday, but now I'm back in the ratrace of Boston (I'm looking forward to heading out soon )
