It is always great to getaway with my wife Cindy. And to go and stay at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island is even better. The Grand is such a romantic location for couples with the beautiful grounds, fine dining and beautiful decor.
This is our third time staying at the Grand Hotel attending Celebrate With Jay and Laura. What fun it was. Jay and Laura Laffoon have a way of bringing "fun" to a marriage conference and still help couples learn as well. They talked about Celebrating Your Marriage during troubled times and encouraged us all to let go of the past, to live now and look forward to the future. Jay and Laura also have great guests each time they are at the Grand. This time it was improv comedy couple "Happy Fun Time" and speaker Bob Lenz.
And while the laughther, learning and fun are great, it's the opportunity to get away from everyday life with my wife that has always been a great draw. This year, Cindy and I rode bikes on the island, walked the gardens of the Grand Hotel, and played Bocci ball and crocket with Aubrey Wilson her husband Nathan (Aubrey is a secretary at the station). Aubrey and Nathan beat us at Bocci Ball,twice, but I won at Crocket. In fact, I think it was the first time in my life to ever win Crocket.
We also enjoyed such wonderful food. My favorite was the salmon for dinner. Wow, incredible. And I think Cindy really enjoyed the dessert. There was so much wonderful food to really have one favorite.
If you are looking for a romantic getaway, the Grand Hotel and Celebrate with Jay and Laura is just about the best you can get. Find out more about the upcoming Celebrate with Jay and Laura May 17 - 18 and May 18 -19 that will feature comedian Ken Davis at JayAndLaura.com.
