Arrived Saturday, August 16, 2014 in Stroudsburg, PA at the Wyndham Shawnee Village. About a 9 hour drive (including gas and lunch stops). Our condo was a two-story, two bedroom, with a fold out sofa in the living room, unit (#104D). The place could accommodate up to 9 comfortably.

The perfect ending for our 1st annual Grandkid / Grandparent getaway. The Bontekoes, The Jaccards and The Brooks all caravanned from from Hershey, PA (see blog) to Lancaster, PA for a little shopping, ice cream and fun. We strolled around the town, grabbed lunch, played in the playground, road ponies, then it was time to go home (3 different states). Everyone gave hugs goodbye and headed out about 3pm.

Our first annual grandkid/grandparent getaway was a huge success. Sarah (Lily 4-1/2 & Isaac 1-1/2) came from Connecticut and Sami (Hannah 5 & JJ 3) came from New York and met us in Hershey, PA. We stay at our Bluegreen Resort. Each mom got their own private bedroom and bathroom. http://www.colorfulplaces.com/bluegreen-resorts/the-suites-at-hershey-pennsylvania Day 1 (Wed., Aug. 14): We all arrived between 4-6pm.
