First ones there

Remember "National Lampoon Vacation"? When the Griswalds got to WallyWorld, Clark Griswald kept saying, "first ones here". Well, yesterday they opened a new Sam's Club in Morrisville, and as business card members we were invited to the pre opening. We got to the front door as they were cutting the ribbon, and, we were the first ones there!


OK, Ward had to dig out his member card so a few people actually stepped in before we did. But I was able to outrun them to the free food.








These guys came down from Jersey where they run an Italian food firm. They make their own mozzarella, and the owner kept singing out, "fresh mozzarella".










This stand had garlic cheese-filled pasta (really good), quesadillas and chips with mango salsa.












This was one crowded area, where they were giving free cheesecake samples. You could buy one for $12, normally they're $40. We didn't buy one though, we're both on special diets for our health and we'd need a whole cheesecake in the house like a hole in the head.

There was lots of other stuff to sample too: coffee, pastries, sausage, dips, egg rolls, quiche, milkshakes, barbecue, pretzels, breakfast egg & cheese sandwiches, fruit and cheese and grand opening cake. We also came home with the goodie bag filled with chocolate, cookies, OTC drug samples, pens and notepads. All in all, not a bad week day date night.









I HAD to take a picture of this. When was the last time you saw the clothes at a warehouse club stacked this neatly?
