Girlfriends Getaway to Hilton Head Island

Posted on April 7, 2014 by Jan Ross

Beautiful Hilton Head Island, South Carolina is a barrier island tucked neatly up so closely against the South Carolina coast that it is just a short drive over a marsh-lined causeway to get there and a short drive from both Charleston and Savannah, yet a whole world away in the relaxed, island vibe that greets … Continue reading »

The Inn at Aberdeen, Valparaiso, Indiana

Posted on April 2, 2014 by Jan Ross

  We didn’t actually intend to stop in Indiana on our whirlwind “Searching for Snow” trip this winter.

But being the geographically impaired individual that I am, I had not taken into consideration the fact … Continue reading »

Winter Girlfriends Getaway to Michigan

Posted on March 27, 2014 by Jan Ross

My first choice for a girlfriends getaway is normally a beach, pretty much any beach, anywhere, anytime. But I may have to change my opinion after spending several days in Michigan enjoying the fabulous, deep, fluffy snow and all the activities that go along with it.

River City Casino and Hotel, St. Louis

Posted on March 20, 2014 by Jan Ross

    The strawberries were a nice touch. We were already mostly in love with this beautiful, luxurious hotel but when they kindly delivered chocolate covered strawberries to the room, we fell head over heels. What’s really ironic about our visit to the River City Casino and Hotel in St. Louis is that we don’t … Continue reading »
