Last weekend was a nice getaway for Ben and me. We left Thursday (after dropping our kids off with dad and Trina) and headed over to meet up with Randy and Kristen. We carpooled north with them, which made for a fun ride up. Once at Boyne the men went golfing and the ladies decided to unload the van and then play some cards. We took it easy and enjoyed the nice afternoon poolside. The next day the men went golfing (well, they did this every morning, so maybe I don't need to keep mentioning that) and we just stayed in. The weather this particular morning was horrible and I'm surprised the guys kept on with the golfing. They came back soaked! After that we decided to take it easy and then head over to the local casino for a night of gaming fun! :) The next day we followed a similar morning routine, yet this time the ladies headed into Petosky to walk around the art fair. We met up with the men and then headed off to wine tasting country. I had never done this before and I was in for a treat. It was just so much fun! One winery we stopped at was Ciccone's and Madonna's dad was there!!! So of course we got a picture with him!! :) On the ride back to the hotel we danced and laughed a lot in the van. It was a riot! Later that evening a few of us went to the hotel bar and danced some more. It was a fun day to say the least. Our last morning while the men were golfing, Kristen and I went to the steam room, jacuzzi, and then the pool to finally have some time outside (the weather all weekend was very bad...highs in the mid-sixties...ugh). The drive home was subdued and we were all ready to get back to our kids, but we kept saying how we love having a weekend like this and we'll have to do it again next year!
