The Parkinson's: Willow's Lodge!!!! A-M-A-Z-I-NG!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!! That is all I have to say about Willow's Lodge in Woodinville!!! I won a nights stay at Willow's at our spa day for my MOPS group. It was a chance of a lifetime. I remember someone said that I won the "grand prize" and I remember asking what was it because I was busy doing the craft that they had out for us that day or munching on some yummy food that we always have at our MOPS meetings. When someone told me I was awed by how lucky I was at getting a chance to win something like this not to mention a chance to stay somewhere that I thought would only happen in my fairytale!!!

Well the stay was.....AWESOME!!!!!! I took 2 baths in the gigantic tub, while watching TV. It was heaven. John and I hung out watched TV and just had a nice little break from reality. I was able to check in at 4pm and after picking up my mom and Aidan (he was at my in-laws since I had a funeral to go to that morning). The three of us headed down to the hotel. We got in and our jaws were on the floor!! It was gorgeous. Aidan jumped on the bed, ran around, was busy and downright CRAZY!!! He washed his hands in the tub because he couldn't reach the sink. I wish I had taken a picture of that it was rather funny and super cute.

Once John got off work (we watched TV, my mom napped) he came down and we all took Nana (my mom) and Aidan to my mom's house. We stopped by Mazatlan before we took them home. Aidan and John went to the bathroom while at the restaurant and Aidan came running back to the table, tripped and spilled John's beer all over. Luckily it ended up completely in my plate of food. I though, oh not so bad, I can pick around the food, but then I remembered John didn't get coke but beer and changed my mind. They were really nice and brought me a complete new plate and John a fresh beer. It was rather nice of them. Aidan refused to eat after that. He felt SO bad for causing such a mess. He had the saddest look on his face. It was so cute I tried hard not to laugh. The only way he would eat was if he got some cuddles from me and loves, and sat next to me on the booth side. I was squished between my mom and Aidan. So comfy.

So after we took Nana and Aidan home, John and I headed to Cold Stone got ice cream and headed to the hotel. We hung out, I took a bath, and we watched TV. He would have watched all sports but I complained and whined enough saying that I wasn't sitting in a hotel room that cost as much as it did to watch sports. He changed. Well, the next morning, even though we were kid less, we both woke up at 7am. I was STARVING so we went to Woodinville Cafe, we love this place and haven't been in ages. We were literally 2 of 6-8 people in the entire restaurant. It was great. We saw some people that John knew, I know them now through him.

After breakfast, we headed to Target and had to wait until they unlocked the doors. It was weird being in so early. We did a bit of shopping and hung out and then headed back to the hotel. I took another bath, John tried the football thing again, but I again wouldn't have it....nice try though. We both took naps and then showered and got ready to head out. We had to check out by noon so it was a low key stay. We went out to lunch after and picked out our new recliner at Reclinerland and ran a few other errands then off to pick up Mr. Aidan from Nana's. Overall it was worth it!! I LOVED it. Highly highly recommend it if you have the cash. It was an experience of a lifetime and look forward to someday going back there for an anniversary or something like that!!

SO....here are our photos of our visit. I took a bunch when we first got there and a few of John....as usual I was behind the camera and not in front. Enjoy!!
