Mom's Weekend

For the first time in about 13 years - I had a weekend away. Two weeks ago, I traveled to the Wisconsin Dells with some friends. It was a great time .....

The Dells in Winter.

The hotel I stayed at is part of the amusement, water and go-kart park that my kids love to visit in the summer. Looks kinda sad all covered with snow.
The outside of the main entrance to the hotel ... it has an ancient Roman theme.
Judy, Tim and Ron in downtown Dells. Ron's wife Chris and I were both snapping photos for our scrapbooks. The others were very patiently waiting ...
Our breakfast run to Denny's in a blizzard.
So funny to see everything covered in snow....we always visit in summer.
I love the Dells in any season.
Train bridge over the Wisconsin river.

We enjoyed the scenery, restaurants, indoor waterpark, pools, and mostly the company. I met a lot of new people and stayed up late lounging with everyone in the hotel lobby. Most of the guys played cards and us ladies chatted. We also made the night manager turn the lobby big screen TV to HGTV.
On Saturday afternoon we had kind of an open house for the Packer game. Everyone gathered and roamed from room to room visiting and watching the game. At one point I counted 17 people in Judy and Tim's room - one of the main food-TV spots.

As much as I missed my kids, it was fun to get away.
