Weekend Getaway: York, Maine

This past weekend we took a trip to York, Maine. I have gone to York many times in the past for family vacations and wanted to go back for a long weekend with my fiance. We stayed at a lovely inn about 5 minutes away from the beach. We also took a drive to Nubble Lighthouse and Perkins Cove. It is a great place to go year-round with your family and friends. There are two beaches to visit, Long Sands Beach and Short Sands Beach. There is shopping in York Village, as well as the Kittery Outlets not too far away. 

Have you ever been to York, Maine?

Weekend Getaway: Pocono Palace Resort

This past weekend my fiance and I went away for a night to celebrate my fiance's birthday. We spent a night at the Pocono Palace Resort. We purchased our weekend getaway via a Groupon. The deal included a one night stay at the resort, dinner, and breakfast. We checked in at 3:00pm and the resort already had our information in their system and immediately gave us the keys to the room. We stayed in the Fairway Suite, which included a round king-size bed, bathroom, and a heart-shaped jacuzzi.  The room was a little older but it was very clean. We took a walk on the nature trail along the resort's private lake.  After, we went for dinner at the restaurant. I ordered a breaded-stuffed chicken and my fiance got the short ribs. We walked back to our room and spent time together for the rest of the evening. In the morning, we went back to the restaurant for a buffet breakfast, which was excellent!  We definitely would like to take a trip back in the future, to utilize more of the resort.  It is perfect for a couple's weekend getaway!
