Forget Vegas: Find yourself in the Poconos
We have all seen it. It’s that commercial where the husband leans over to kiss his wife goodnight, and then the camera pans out and shows the poor guy climbing up to the top bunk. Then the voice over says, “Sometimes what you need after your holiday vacation is a vacation.” A sentiment any one that resembles a normal human can relate to, perhaps all too well. Ah, it is that time of year again. It is the holiday season, when we pack up the kids and the green bean casserole to make the long trek to Aunt Gertrude’s house for Thanksgiving, and then it’s off to celebrate Christmas with the in-laws. The holidays are a joyous time of year where family can spend time together, sharing memories and laughs by the hearth. Despite the cherished comforts the holidays bring – the gathering of loved ones near and far, the endless smorgasbord of homemade sugary delights to tickle your nose hairs and tantalize the taste buds, reminiscing around the hearth, planning a holiday vacation can be stressful. And, quite frankly, sometimes you just need to take a vacation from everyone and everything; to find a place where you and the husband can get some much needed rest and relaxation (I can see all of you women out there with question marks encircling about you – Rest and relaxation? What is that? Is that a new boy band from Europe?). In all seriousness, the commercial is right. Sometimes what you need after your holiday vacation is… a vacation. A place to recuperate after the indigestion from eating too many pumpkin pies and downing quarts of nutmeg; a place away from the incessant chimes of children wondering why their friend’s parents got them a dirt bike while they got a years supply of tube socks; a place where you can rediscover yourself (and the flame in your marriage) among the back drop of innate peace and beauty nature affords. So, forget Vegas. Let what happens in Vegas stay there. You are taking a real vacation—a Pocono vacation, that is!
