This weekend, I'm taking an extra day off and my mom and I are heading to Callaway Gardens for the Fantasy In Lights.  We were going to stay in the Mountain Creek Inn, which is a fairly standard hotel located on-site, but a ways away from the garden entrances.  At some point we decided to call and see if we could get into the Lodge and Spa, which is a definite upgrade, and were told they were booked.  We called back this past weekend to see if we could get on a waiting list, just in case, and were told they had an opening - so hooorah! 

I'm super excited about the whole trip.  It's only a few hours a way, which is perfect for a weekend getaway.  AND there's a butterfly conservatory.  AND a heated pool.  AND free breakfast.  I love some free breakfast, seriously!

I'm always looking for some kind of fresh start.  I'm hoping this serves as a catalyst for so many things.
