November 8th marks my sixth wedding anniversary. I was feeling nostalgic, so tonight I dusted off my wedding album and went through it page by page. It is incredible how much can change in just six short years (or long depending on how you look at it). In six years, we have moved twice, renovated our house, created a beautiful family, added a dog to our already crazy house and made some serious career moves. Despite some curve balls, all in all, it has been a pretty damn good six years (thanks to my amazing hubby). We've been wracking our brain trying to decide how to celebrate. Well, really it's just been me banging my head against the wall. I get the impression that Ray really doesn't want to be involved in my endless research and constant chatter about what we should do. He just wants the final product, and rightly so, as being inside my head is exhausting.
A friend of mine had mentioned the Mohonk Mountain House as a possible destination, but warned that it could get quite expensive. I didn't even look into it partly because I'm not into "expensive" these days. I'm into bargains, sales, coupon codes, free shipping both ways and signing up my whole entire family, including cousins, for Enfamil coupons.
Despite all that, I couldn't resist to call Mohonk just to see if they were running some type of promotion or special. It must have been my lucky day because, indeed, they were!!! If you visit during a "weekday" - the rates are literally HALF the price
The best parts of the deal:
(1) Sunday is considered a weekday (so you can stay Sunday to Monday) AND
(2.) Three meals a day and most amenities on the 2,200 acre property are included in the rate.
Here's a picture to tempt you.
I can't get over how stunning the property looks and I am quite impressed by all of things that you can do once you get there (hiking, yoga, ice skating, boating, fishing, snowshoeing, carriage rides -- etc...). Mostly, I can't wait to spend one whole night with my hubby. I wonder how long we can go without talking about the girls.. While things have certainly changed over the last six years, I wouldn't change a single thing.
Oh Angela, it is really worth a trip there. We went for ouor office conference this padt August and it is beautiful. The food is wonderful, all you can eat. The price is steep, but it is all inclusive. It is a very romantic place to go. I won one of the six free passes to the spa for the three days we were there and it is beautiful. I would love to get John to go with the kids when they are older.
ReplyDeleteBTW, there are no televisions in the room. They have a few if you ask for one, first come first served. Enjoy! <3
