Greg and I spent the past weekend at Caesar's Pocono Palace Resort in Pennsylvania. We dropped Wesley off at Grandmom and Grandpop's house (and he kept them BUSY!!!) and it took us about 5 hours to complete the estimated 3.5 hour drive. Traffic was awful, the weather was awful, but the drive was worth it! We checked into our suit complete with heart shaped jacuzzi, fireplace and our own swimming pool and dry sauna! Did I mention this was to be a romantic getaway? The Pocono Palace has to be at least 30 years old and I believe they are working on renovating the rooms. Our bed was an "updated" Blush Bed with foam top mattress and was quite comfortable. Our room was clean, just needed a decor update. Greg and I enjoyed the private swimming pool the most, it was heated and we used it a lot.

The all inclusive resort is located in the lush mountains of Pennsylvania and the resort has it's own private lake. The scenery was beautiful and many activated were offered including archery, golf, water skiing, paddle boats as well as daily activities and evening entertainment. We did take part in a little Bingo and watched the Newlywed game (and determined we would have been serious contenders if we had played.) Meals were served in a general dining room and Friday nights are an Italian theme and Saturday nights are "Strip Night" as they serve strip steaks. The food was good and we were pleased with all the offerings.

It was very precious and special to have some alone "couples time" although we missed Wesley immensely and we felt quite guilty leaving him for the weekend. Sunday morning we skipped breakfast so we could rush home to our little boy. He was quite happy to see us and did not like it when either one of us would leave the room. He was tuckered out by the time we got him home and he didn't want me to leave his room after I tucked him into bed. It's going to be a while before we leave him again... and it may be a while before Grandmom and Grandpop are ready for Wesley!
