Girls Getaway - Lake Geneva

Thanks to Jill we were able to get away last weekend for a little girls/spa getaway. We left Friday after work and Mandy drove us to Lake Geneva. It turns out this is about 50 minutes from my house. I guess I need to look at maps more often.

Jill and I went to check in at the French Country Inn and were greeted by the resident cat, Ruthie. Her breathing sounds like she's been a smoker for 40 years. She's quite old but a real sweetie. I think she looks like Dumbledore from the Harry Potter movies.

We checked into adjoining rooms and started preparations for Teresa's surprise shower. We wanted to get her some girlie things for her new baby. The rooms were so cute and each had a fireplace. Unfortunately, the consensus was that the water smelled like metal and looked like breast milk. We roughed it though.

That night we ate dinner at the Inn. I was careful to ask that my Ravioli entree was vegetarian and was promised that it was. I few bites into it (and loving the flavor) I realized that it was covered in bits of ham and bacon (I thought they were sun-dried tomatoes, I swear). I expected a free desert but was granted none. We had plenty of snacks back in our room so I survived the stressful ordeal.

The next morning we had free brunch at the Inn and headed to our spa appointments. The three preggos had maternity massages. At the spa I drank cold defense hot tea and poisoned my baby. It did taste good though. Next we had lunch at this cute little igloo and headed back to the rooms for naps. We had a beautiful back deck but were unable to enjoy it due to the cold and rainy weather.

That night after much contemplation we decided to head out to dinner. Here is the obligatory pregnant pic: Teresa in the back (due in April), Jess in the front (due in June). All girls!

When we got back that night we had a fun time playing games. Oh wait, Mandy and I were the only ones up for gaming so we did not do this. Jerks. Sunday we had a later brunch and headed to downtown Lake Geneva to visit some shops. We made it to one shop and hit the road to head home.

Unfortunately the girls confirmed my snoring. Although they did note it was not that loud. I also talk in my sleep. Teresa and I shared a bed because both of us toss, turn and pee all night. Jess's sleeping is unaffected by her pregnancy. How nice for her. All in all it was a relaxing weekend away from our lovely (but annoying) husbands.
