Virginia Vacation - Day 4
A rest day, mostly spent in or by the pool at the timeshare. Had a conversation with a guy from Ohio that I gave up on once he recommended eating at Red Lobster while we were in town. That was pretty much all the interaction I had with other guests for the week, which is probably for the best.
We did go grocery shopping, and failed in my first quest for a bag of Utz's crab chips (which contain no crab, they're potato chips with Old Bay seasoning). They don't show up in supermarkets up here, even though Utz products have been widely available for at least a year. The only place I've found them up here have been at the Christmas Tree Shop and a local Italian grocery which doesn't always offer them (or were out the last time I went in, which was some time ago). Thought they'd be easy to find given our proximity to Maryland, but no soap.

Utz is now in Massachusetts? About a decade ago, Utz produced a series of radio spots promoting itself as a regional snack.
Each ad would have the announcer allow an out-of-towner (who would mention what state he/she is from) sample Utz potato chips.
Out-of-towner would say how delicious the chips, and how s/he would buy the chips when they return home.
Announcer would laugh and say "Utz isn't available in (STATE)!"
There probably was one for Massachusetts, but I forget specific states mentioned.
Utz hasn't been in state long. Wikipedia mentions an expansiion in distribution in effect in 2004, so I assume after they got a toe hold in New York they kept moving up the coast.
