HILTON GAVE ME SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS WINTER

It doesn't take long for me to get the winter blahs. The fact that I'm about to write about the winter blahs should give you some inkling about how quickly I get them! :o) The cold weather has been here for only a few weeks now and I'm already planning a family trip for mid-winter. I do this because I know what life is like when we don't make plans for adventure during the winter months. It's horrible because, if we don't plan something, we have nothing to look forward to as a family until the summer months when we get to swim and camp any given day of the week.

Planning one or two winter family activities has become a tried and true part of our family lifestyle. The kids are excited through the winter months because there is something to look forward to and Brian and I are happy to know the he will get a few days off to relax and turn that dog gone cell phone off!

So far, we have a family plan to visit an indoor family resort in January with fellow homeschooling friends, but I think it would be nice to head out of town before then. A nice family vacation, closer to home would be perfect. Brian told me that he has a Hilton membership card because he stays at the Hilton when he travels for work at times. I was ecstatic to know this so I went to look at what Hilton has to offer.

You'll be happy to know that you won't need a discount card to get the deals I'm about to tell you about. I found out that Hilton has wonderful resorts all over America so, of course, I found one that looks beautiful and is just far enough away from our state to feel like we are on a legitimate vacation.

Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing is gorgeous and the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel offers so much for family fun!

This season, we could visit the Midwest’s entertainment capital and even customize our stay with exclusive holiday packages at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing or the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. As I scanned their offers it was hard to choose from the four themed packages. The Thanksgiving Package is out because we already have Thanksgiving plans set in stone. The, It’s a Wonderful Life Package, looks like a dream! The Santa’s Coming to Town Package would be one that our son's would enjoy in a big way too. Those three were all geared toward our family, however, I took a peak at the last one they had to offer and now I'm thinking a late December rendezvous for Brian and I may be in order!

They have a New Years’ Eve Package where Brian and I could get spa treatments! Oh mamma! By day we could partake in the spirit of the holidays with light displays, shows, parades, and the old time charm of Branson but By night, ooh la la...we could retire in the luxury and elegance of the Hilton Promenade. We could breathe in the scenic views in the Missouri Ozarks and order in some of their world-class food. *sigh* I

'm thinking the kids will have to wait for mid January for their indoor water park fun. Brian and I are heading for a new year rendezvous. Yowza! See! I made my mind up while I was posting! LOL

Brian always told me that Missouri is a beautiful place. Even when he travels there on business, he enjoys staying in the Hilton. Now, I get to go out on the town with my honey. See, I now have something to look forward too! How about you?
