You know I love you, right? And as my mother taught me, “if you love me, buy me things.” Well, I haven’t exactly bought <\/em>something for you, but I do have some freebies and a great deal to offer, too.<\/p>\n

First, the great deal. Remember when I told you earlier about how my friends at Smugglers’ Notch<\/a> gave me my first writing credit for their resort magazine? Well, at the same time we worked out a special deal for any of you who might have been inspired enough by my most excellent and unbiased travel reporting to plan a family vacation at Smuggs for yourself. <\/p>\n

Book any FamilyFest Summer Vacation Package at Smugglers’ Notch for this summer (June 13 – September 1, 2008) and tell them you want the “Postcards from the Mothership” deal, and you’ll get a 20% discount<\/strong>! In addition to the fun I blogged about last summer (remember the segways<\/a>, the excellent day camp for kids, the waterslides and pools<\/a> and mini-golf, not to mention the endless canoe trip<\/a>?) this year they’ve got some cool new stuff like chocolate tasting and bike-boards (three-wheeled scooters) and adventures in kayaking and rock-climbing, plus a whole lot more. <\/p>\n

If you go, let me know! I’d love to hear about it. And, as a self-appointed bloggy ambassador to Smuggs, I’d be happy to answer any questions about our trip. For more information and to make a reservation, visit the Smuggs website<\/a>. Don’t forget to tell them you want the “Postcards from the Mothership” deal!<\/p>\n

And now the freebies: the nice folks over at Hachette publishing sent out Mothers Day book packages to a handful of bloggers recently, and I’d like to share mine with you. These are the books they sent (minus a few I’ve already given away):<\/p>\n
