A Very Christmas Weekend!

As luck would have it, this past weekend Dennis and I had no plans for an entire weekend.  So what did we do?  We made plans.  The nice thing about this though, is we made plans for just to two of us.  Something that we rarely do and is often needed. 


Since I tend to be a bit of a Grinch around this time of year, Dennis was on a mission to shove Christmas down my throat.  


Keeping our priorities straight, we wanted to get a WOD in Saturday morning before we left.  It was a Christmas themed WOD and we got to listen to Christmas music during it.  Perfect way to start the weekend.  (See Saturday's WOD listed below).  


The WOD kicked my ass, and I wanted to quit once I got to the last round.  But with the support of my friends, they cheered and helped me get through the 12th day of Christmas.  Thank you!!


After the WOD we went home, got showered and dressed and off we went. 


Our first stop was Longwood Gardens.  Having never been there I didn't know what to expect.  We started off with an Organ Sing along where we sat in a grand room with a group of 100 people while a man played Christmas songs on an organ to which we sang along.  I know it sounds kinda corny, but it was very enjoyable, (and Dennis sang!).    


From there we walked around the garden and saw the Gingerbread Display, Christmas Display, and all the other amazing plants they have. 

By the time we were done with the inside activities, it was turning twilight and all the gardens and trees were lit up with the most amazing lights I have ever seen.

And right before we decided to head out, we enjoyed this fountain show:

Next on our agenda that Dennis so meticulously planned out was a super romantic dinner at hotel Hershey.  The food was amazing and Hershey sure knows how to do dessert right!

When we left the restaurant for dinner, it had lightly snowed making everything look and feel like Christmas.  It was super pretty and of course, very romantic.  

Believe it or not, the day was not done!  There was one more Christmas item on the agenda which would end the night.  Dennis and I were going to the "Sweet Treat Lights."  This is something similar to Lights in the Parkway. 

 Even though this wasn't quite what we had hoped, it was still really fun to do and we had an enjoyable time. 


We stayed over in Hershey that night and the next day we spent at the Hershey Outlets shopping for gifts (even though we got a ton for ourselves) and driving home.  The weekend was amazing and even though we splurged a big on food, we still got a WOD in on Saturday. 

Thank you Dennis for a wonderful Christmas filled weekend!
