Weekend Getaway!

It was wayyyy too short of a weekend. Mr. Skinny had to work on Saturday, so I picked him up from work around 3pm and we headed up to Hershey. There wasn't any traffic, but it was still a 2 hour drive. I got us there around 5:15. The parking lot of the hotel was packed, so I made Mr. Skinny drop me off, and I went to check us in. Mr. S didn't feel comfortable getting out of the car since he still had his work clothes on and people were walking into the hotel dressed to the T. We checked in, got all our information, then went up to check out the room, which was good, we had to change super quick, dinner was starting at 6:30, but we had to get our tickets about 6pm. We got there on time, no problem, just rushed.

Dinner was delicious! Crab cakes, chicken breast, buttermilk mashed potatoes, spinach (yuck!), roasted carrots. For dessert, individual little yule logs. It was dinner and a show, and the show was pretty good. It was a Christmas Musical - they sang over 40 traditional and not so traditional Christmas songs. After dinner, we went to Sweet Lights. We waited in line for an hour to see the lights. They were okay, but not all that. Honestly, after seeing the Disney lights last year, there's just no comparison. By the end of the lights we were so tired, we passed right out once we got back to the room.

Sunday morning we got up, went down to the Cocoa Beanery and got Hot Chocolate and breakfast. I grabbed a chocolate croissant, and Mr. Skinny got an apple danish. Delish! Then I took him over to the Hotel Hershey for his 60 minute deep tissue massage, went back to our hotel to check out and picked him up. He said the massage was pretty good, not everything he dreamed of though. We headed to the park next, got on about 4 rides, went through the Chocolate World tour, of course, and grabbed lunch.

Our weekend trip was over, that was it. It was incredibly short, and we're trying to plan for the next one. Maybe a spa weekend...?
