So, my wife is a fox.  As in smokin hot, yes… but even more so as in cunning and sly.  She has been planning for several weeks to get me away from my routine.  On Tuesday I was just sitting in my office as normal and to my surprise she planned a dinner with me at PF Changs.  (Side note: Thank you to whoever that was who left that gift certificate on my desk… I LOVE YOU! we used it and it was great.)  At Changs, she tells me that we aren’t going home, but that we are headed away for the night.  Well, that was music to my ears.  We went off to Willow Valley for the night.  PBU has a Pastors getaway that she had scored, and we were able to go there and enjoy willow valley, and all that they have to offer.  We went from the hot tub to the pool, back to the hot tub, and put that cycle on repeat several times.  I felt like a lobster being submerged.  But it was great.  

So, I guess we were both excited to be away, and kid free, so we ventured into their kids pool, and she said, I really want you to go down the slide.  I was like, um… No, I think that I am a big boy now, and I am to big for the slide.  She thought otherwise.  So, she approached the life guard and said My husband really wants to

go down the slide is that okay?  He gave permission, so she sent me down that slide a couple times.  I threatened her that there was no way that I was going down the little frog slide…

Anyway, I digress…  All this to say is that we had a great time hanging out, being together, relaxing, enjoying the sights of Lancaster County, and just being still for once. How awesome is that!  Anyway… 

I was thinking, where is your favorite place to go to rest and relax, getaway and just be still?  

So, the last thing that was said, was…  “So, I planned a surprise trip…  I guess it’s your turn.”  So, check it out… Here we go… We’re ready to amp it up, drink a few red bull’s and put our thinking caps together.  Let’s see if collectively online here at the saltlick that we can come up with a mind numbing awesome “surprise” getaway for my bride.  What would be your idea?  What do you think I should do?

  1. Okay – I’m glad that we didn’t crash your romantic weekend. But… next time you are in our county and we don’t connect, I’m going Jesus in the temple on you.
