I'm not sure if there is enough room for me to write everything, I'd love to share with you!!!
We had been in home isolation for 219 days ( w/3 kids) before deciding we should sneak away for a long weekend as a surprise for our kiddos who needed a break from our home/yard & all their "Zooms" classes. Wanted a Different state then our own, Within driving distance without needing a bathroom break, A place that was secluded from others (youngest child is high-risk hence our long isolation) & Still a fun place to go & make memories at too. Not a complicated thing to ask for right?
This was the 1st location that I clicked on & right away knew we didn't need to look elsewhere! Just looking at the photos alone I knew that my kids would have so much fun with all the land & trees alone.... instantly sent Carol a message asking her a few questions (quite a few & quickly received a response from Carol answering them all!)
Just pulling into the driveway I already knew we were "home".
Every single detail was amazing & not overlooked. Walking in to the kitchen to find a nice welcome note & some goodies, exploring the house of course the kiddos were excited to see all the games, videos, Legos,..until we went outside and BOOM= HEAVEN! The yard is immaculate! It was like a scavenger hunt searching for the different decorations placed all around the 8 acres.( I won't spoil the items, but we had the kids take a list & write down all the items they found during our stay) The pond is so beautiful, several spots with chairs to sit in different areas around the pond & a hidden waterfall!
Mrs. Carol stopped by on our 2nd day ( asked if ok to do so 1st & of course I wanted to meet the person who had decorated the home & yard with all the fine touches) She showed us around the yard, property, encouraged my kids to climb every tree they could & gave us a ladder to help them out if needed....*yes, Daddy had to save them a few times as they were trying to reach the "perfect" apple to eat* Mrs. Carol showed us & the kids her Garden, where to pick our own lettuce, carrots, potatoes for dinner, mint leaves for tea & how to compost!
Spent hours exploring the trails, woods, fishing, digging for worms, nighttime bonfires, smores, & more.
*I was right, not enough room to write everything*
Carol, I still can't thank you enough for the over the top experience & memories made here! So much fun & proof that electronics are a luxury, not needed 4 fun!
