Beautiful! I wouldn't know who to kiss first, the wife or the lovely kids who gave you this magnificent gift!
Gee, I don't know, rel. That just doesn't look like the kind of place that anyone could really enjoy. Talk about bare bones accommodations, with little do to while you're there. Says she sarcastically, while turning green with envy! Good thing green is one of my best colours! :)
But I'm not so envious that I can't wish you and your dearest one a fabulous, romantic weekend. Like you could have any other kind in those surroundings!
P.S. Sorry about the two deleted comments above. Something went wonky when I tried to post earlier and what appeared was pure gibberish. Weird.
This looks absolutely fabulous Rel! Just my kind of thing - hope you and D have a wonderful weekend
- remember it includes a wine- TASTING event, this doesn't mean that you knock back two glasses of everything you are offered!:):) Have fun. Rowan
I want to go to! Can I ? CanI? lol. You two will have a ball! Looks like a lovely place!! Enjoy yourselves!
Tis me..Catch
Oh man, you should write a book on childraising. I would buy it in a second if it made my girls turn into adults who would treat me to that. You're a lucky man.
Looks like a fabulous place - and what a wonderful gift! I don't have to remind you to enjoy every moment!
Oh Rel...what a fabulous place to be going to! Look at that suite bathroom!! Sheesh! What a wonderful gift for your kids to have given you...all I can say is ENJOY and I just know you'll love all that wine tasting! lol Hugs xox
Ooooh I want to get away so badly right now - this is pushing me to really get to work on checking out travel arrangements!
What a fabulous suite! I love the Regency wallpaper. A six hour chaffeured tour of a winery, massage...I would have thought I'd died and gone to heaven with that lot!
I hope you and your loved one have a wonderful weekend, Rel. I want to hear all about it when you come back...on second thoughts, not all - just the uncensored bits.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend, Rel!
Ahhhhhhh!
He's a softy.
