Thanksgiving Trip

(So, I'm back into blogging. I will flesh out my site throughout the week, but I wanted to re-launch today, so I did even though I still need to add some more pages!)


I don't like traveling during the holidays. It is stressful to get everything packed, get on the road, and maintain sanity, especially with young children. So this year, my husband and I made simple plans to spend Thanksgiving with friends just across town. We weren't expected there till the evening, so we were going to relax all day with our daughter, play games, watch some movies, etc. I was really looking forward to it.

However, our plans changed sort of last minute and we ended up spending Thanksgiving and the following night at an "all inclusive resort" here in town.

The trip started out a little rough (more on that tomorrow), but once we got over the hump, we settled into a couple of days of pampering. 

We enjoyed our spacious room complete with a gorgeous view,

room service and a complimentary daily gourmet dessert cart,

the free child care,

and all you can eat jello and pudding, (not pictured, unfortunately, because I ate it too fast and kept forgetting to take a picture).

It was a little difficult to get adequate sleep with the "resort" staff constantly checking in on us and making sure we were doing okay, but we got our moments in every now and again. 

We probably won't be taking a trip like that one again for a while, so we tried to soak it all up and enjoy every moment. And you know what, traveling during this holiday didn't turn out that bad. After all, we got a great souvenir.
