my dear friend allison works at big cedar lodge & resort, which i drive past every day on my way to work, but have never experienced in all it's grandeur. the big cedar administration wanted each staff member to spend a night in one of the cabins so they would know how better to assist their lodgers. allison invited me to come along for the 'educational experience', and i was more than happy to oblige!
we cooked an amazing dinner, built a cozy fire, played on allison's new laptop, watched 'becoming jane' on the huge flat screen t.v., slept in the giant, feather-toppered beds in a cloud of cushiness, and had general, all around, luxurious fun.
and bonus, we didn't have school the next day! it was one of our infamous 'snow days' with no snow to accompany it. to be fair, i think part of the blue eye area had some snow. not my part.
so we slept in, had a leisurely breakfast, took a shower in the shower with FOUR shower heads -- a rain one overhead and three ones that were coming out of the wall at various places. talk about strange! but i think i could probably get used to it.
we kept trying different spots for a timer shot and we were just not very photogenic. but we gave it a valiant effort. hopefully we'll be more photogenic at my wedding! allison is one of my lovely bridesmaids! i'm so glad for our friendship. she's a gem.

Oh wow! I'd sure love to stay in something like that!! I wonder if Dan and Cari's package includes something like that. It's BEAUTIFUL!
Very nice - especially the featherbeds... What was "Becoming Jane" like - any good?
Oh my gosh...exactly my dream home someday.
did you notice that my toes look like fingers in all of the above pictures? i did. and that you were gracious enough to post the one picture i look normal in even though your eyes are closed.
i love your blog. there may be a shortcut to it in my browser window since i now have my very own grown-up computer :) i love you, too.
