My husband loves the element of surprise....So it wasn't much of a surprise
when he texted me last Friday with a...
"get off early, come home and pack a bag...We're going on
vacation!"
Surprise or not (he likes to hint as well :) ) Is it not ALWAYS a good day
when you get to go on a vacation?? :D I think so!
So my little bugs packed up with mini rolling suit cases, I threw together a
few options and off we went at 6p.m. down the high way towards our awaiting
destination. Now, keep in mind, we have two five year olds so it wasn't going
to be the beach and some margaritas, but with my husband you just never know.
He is the biggest kid at heart and when he wants to play his first choice....
is water.
French Lick, Indiana... Home of Larry Bird! (So I found out, several
times....)
We pull up and the kids eyes glaze over when the see it, the indoor
waterpark...yep, splish splash we're gunna have a blast! haha
After about 3 hours of swimming, pizza, games, 6 hours of sleep, breakfast,
3 more hours of swimming...we pack up and head to the Uh-mazING Amish buffet
and gorge ourselves with fried chicken, fish, stuffing, mashed potatoes with
butter you could feel, corn (my favorite) and the most delicious banana -
peanut butter pie in the world! Thank goodness I didn't have to get back in a
bikini after that...
Our next discovery was to the gorgeous luxurious West Baden hotel, where the
harp was singing in your ears, Starbucks was flirting with your nose and the
architecture was magnificently choreographed...Figures, my kids (including my
husband) would grab a couple of fake mustaches and make a photo shoot out of
it. haha
By the end of the weekend, we swam, ate, played, and viewed on of the most
historically magnificent hotels I've ever seen....
It was a good weekend.
