Less than twelve hours into vacation. We've been looking through local travel guides, trying to plan events-ish. With my back, I can't participate in a lot of things.
No horses, distance hiking, biking Mackinac Is., zip lining, wave runners, etc.
Ugh, long list.
Then, on a long drive into green, green and more green (the very tall and woodsy kind) a beach appeared. Not just a beach but a beach with a tiki bar stand. Tomorrow the pack will be hiking while I'm sleeping in and then they'll be catching their breath while I'm sipping a Mai Thai.
We have different ideas of vacation but everyone agrees that hot tubs are awesome. Particularly 49 capacity hot tubs.
After sampling the smaller pool and indoor hot tub across the lot, my cousin consulted a map and found the "frickin' huge" hot tub. Apres dine, we drove over. The other pool/hot tub are behind the Clock Tower Lounge and across the pond from "The Castle."
I'm calling it that because that's exactly what it looks like--classy and romantic trellises and wood work surrounded by a cute mock-Swiss village. Sitting on a rock infront of the lounge for a smoke, I saw the fountain. In the center of the pond is a fountain that shoots red and blue all night...right infront of the beautiful castle.
Tomorrow requires a camera. I need to capture some of these things. The green here is missed back home where rain has been away for awhile. Looking up the ski lift, there is a large hill with massive trees everywhere.
Well-to-do families have gorgeous cabins here. Some of these "cabins" are several stories and bigger than any home I've even stayed in.
Enough. I need to get back to my pull-out couch I'm sharing with my cousin. So, that part isn't the best...
