Spring and a Celebration!

It is officially Spring, thank goodness!  Wisconsin is really starting to look beautiful now.  There is such a difference between the seasons here, it really makes you appreciate the trees, the grass and of course the sunshine!

This view is just outside our house.  It looks like a postcard again!  

In addition to the changing seasons and the excitement for our next assignment, Jason and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary!  We heard about the village of Kohler which is about an hour North of Milwaukee.  It is a small but beautiful town owned by the Kohler Plumbing Company that has a hotel and spa that has five stars and five diamonds, which makes it VERY nice!

The hotel we stayed at is called the American Club which was beautiful.  It was all very dark wood and rich furnishings, along with amazing plumbing fixtures of course!

The hotel staff was very sweet and found out it was our anniversary and sent a present up to our room!

Here is the shower in our beautiful hotel room, although pictures just don't do it justice...

But you can get the idea with the body sprays...

and the rain showers!  Very fun!

To celebrate our anniversary we wanted, well really I should say I wanted, to spend the day in the spa.  I figured at Kohler it would be one of the nicest spas around and I was not disappointed!

Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us take pictures in the spa (of course, since everyone is in bathrobes) but we did manage to sneak a few pictures!

Ahh, relaxation...

For lunch we ate at the spa restaurant which served you while you were still in your bathrobes!  It was just too comfortable!  Here is the bento box we got with healthy yummy food...

and of course smoothies!

We got facials (Jason's first one!), a couples massage and spent the day in the spas, reading magazines and just zoning out!  It was perfect!

We topped the weekend off with the BEST BRUNCH EVER, which surprisingly was a buffet but the best buffet we had ever tasted!  We left feeling relaxed and full.  It was a great weekend and a great anniversary!  

I love you Jason!

Oh yea, and I got a little something too ;) (Its the one in the middle!)

I know I am a lucky girl!

NEWS!

Ok, it's that time again!

Where are we going next in our great traveling experiment?

Jason and I have been discussing at length, do we go where the money is or do we go have some fun?

After spending 6 months in Wisconsin, we decided we deserved a little bit of excitement in our lives and aimed for New England.  I can barely remember the last time I went there because I was so young and Jason wants to go back to NYC pronto!  We informed our recruiters of where we wanted to go and crossed our fingers that they could find us a job there.

So, I think it is pretty easy to guess the point of this post...

Stamford, Connecticut!

Stamford is a large city in the metropolitian area of New York City!  It is right on Long Island Sound, a 40 minute train ride into NYC, and is just east of Greenwich, CT (yes, that Greenwich).

We couldn't be more excited and have already started our list of places to go and things to see including but not limited to...

1.  NYC (and all that includes!)

2.  Martha's Vineyard

3.  Nantucket

4.  the Hamptons (to say hi to Ina)

5.  Cape Cod, MA

6.  Coastal Maine

7.  Baseball Hall of Fame

8.  Upstate New York

9.  Boston (including Fenway for Jason)

10.  Bedford, NY (to say hi to Martha)

As you can see I'm really quite excited about the whole thing :)

The countdown has begun!
