A refresher

Daddy Duck & I were privileged to go out of town for a couple of days sans ducklings. We packed our bags & flew south.

But not without stopping at a fancy restaurant first. Once we arrived at our destination, the heavens broke loose and much rain fell. The skies did clear after a little while & made such a pretty picture.

After saving some hotel reward points from previous stays, we were rewarded with 2 free nights as...

Starwood Preferred Guests

Yes, ladies & gentlemen. There was a sign to prove it.

What it really meant was that our room had paper-thin walls and a non-functioning a/c. Plus, we seemed to be surrounded by other (non-preferred) guests who sleep-walked and tried to enter the suite doors to our room twice in one night.

Anyway... none of that really mattered. Daddy Duck & I were reveling in our freedom and our... love.

We brought our box of love letters we've written over the years. (Our first (and only) year of dating was spent 6 hours apart, so we wrote a LOT of letters.) We took this box into restaurants & read them together.

We did eat at a few nice places, but I only managed to get pics of the really fancy ones.

The Starwood Preferred Guests:

We visited a few upscale shopping establishments & spent almost four whole dollars.

We played games (where Mama Duck made an amazing comeback & totally creamed Daddy Duck) and had lots of laughs.

But who's keeping score?

It was such a relaxing & refreshing trip.

Note to self: do this more often!
