Back to reality!

We're back!!

After a wonderful week we are back to the reality of work and children!

We left last Sat and drove as far as Niagara Falls where we got a room. We took some time to see the falls and walk around the downtown at night. The next morning we were off to the states. By 3:30 we got to the resort in the Poconos. We were a little surprised when our room was in a round shaped building with no windows! We were lucky and got a really good deal on our room. It's usually $405 at night, we got it for$205/night. Inside the room was great. We had our own pool and sauna room off the bedroom, a heart shaped whirlpool tub, two TVs, a fireplace and a lots more. We weren't sure about no windows though. When we woke up in the morning it still felt like it was the middle of the night. Anyway the rest of the resort was awesome too. There was a inside pool and spa and health club, an amazing restaurant, a billiard room, a sports palace, a sports center, a chalet with a bond fire inside, and two nightclubs where there was entertainment and games every night. Everything was included except alcohol. Everyday we got fresh sheets and towels in our room, we could phone for breakfast in bed and there was a chariot that we could phone to take us back and forth to whatever building we wanted. I have to say a week without cooking and cleaning was wonderful. The food was amazing too. I couldn't eat a lot of it but the cooks made food I could eat.

Every night at the club had a different theme. We went to the mardi gras, Hawaiian, and Roman nights. One night there was also a comedian Scott Bruce who was hilarious. During the day there were lots of games and couple competitions to go to. We did the snowmobiling and tubing too. On Thurs we went to a horse ranch about 15 mins away where we went on an hour trail ride through the wood. We couldn't believe how many deer were in the area. At the resort you could see them all through the day and while in the woods on our trail ride we were able to get really close to them. There are lots of deer in Huron county too but not out in the daytime like that.

Well I know I'm rambling and it's getting late. Just wanted to say we had a wonderful week together and recommend every married couple with kids to get away from them at sometime! The break was well needed. So now that I'm back and refreshed I'm planning for next week when my four kids are home for March break plus Kailey will be here everyday. It should be interesting.

I'll let you know how my week is going,
