My friend called me before Christmas because she bought a one night stay at the Mohonk Mountain House to celebrate both Christmas and their ten year anniversary. They needed me to take care of the kids for 24 hours.
I love these kids, they are really great, and I have been watching them every week for months so this was not new. I was also looking forward to helping out my two good friends so they could get the romantic getaway they needed.
So I packed my bags and spent the night with the kids.
But it turns out that this babysitting job was much more fun than I expected. What we arranged was for me to bring the kids up to Mohonk so we could enjoy the fun. First we went ice skating, and then we took a walk around the lake. finally, we ended the day with tea and cookies in the hotel.

I just love this resort. The best part is that this resort is 147 years old (I think) and as an historian I can just see what it was like a hundred years ago. It is like stepping into another time.
I like the idea of getting away to a resort, even if it is for one night and in your own area. Would you spend a night in a hotel or resort near your home?
If I had that one near me, I should would spend a night there! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, that place looks amazing!
ReplyDeletei would love to stay somewhere close to home, i get deals from groupon for the shore, or poconos, or something, but i feel like it would be a waste of money. or at least money i'd rather spend on a far away vacation, you know?
