Travel Tuesday-La Toretta Lake Resort

***Disclosure-My family and I received a complimentary stay for review.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.

Spring Break came and went.  Due to our new schedules, dad was not able to join us during the family adventures.  So we wanted to take a break and have some family fun which would include him.  And since we only had a small break, a staycation was perfect for us.  Down the street and around the corner from Houston is a beautiful place to get away.  Don't believe me, check this place out.

La Toretta Lake Resort & Spa is on beautiful Lake Conroe.  This place is a hidden gem that we did not know existed so close to home.  They have a waterpark, spa, arcade room, teen room, toddler room, and golf.

This was the perfect place for our family to relax.  You can take a walk down the beautiful property.  You can stick your toes in the sandy beach, watch the sunset while sitting on the chairs, and breathing in the air.  We took advantage of the AquaPark, pools, and Lay-Z River Rapids.  And since we were outside enjoying all this, we were glad the Coco Cove Grill was open for business.

We met and talk to other guests who were checked in the resort.  Everyone had a different reason for being there like a wedding, reunion, conference, vacation, or staycation.  But the one thing we all had in common was that we were all having a good time.

Travel Tuesday-Woodlands Resort

Last year I attended Blog Elevated 2013, did you read my blog post on Reasons why you should have attended Blog Elevated?  I had so much fun and there were so many great reasons for attending.

I won a stay at The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center.

Behind these woods is an amazing get-a-way.  The family did not know where we were headed.  It was a staycation since The Woodlands is only a small drive out from where we live.  It is away from all the noise, and Downtown skyline.

With our work week ending so late, we did not make it in until the sun had already went down.  It was so nice that we could see the stars out here.  And we in our room we were greeted by a sweet surprise.

After enjoying our milk and cookie, we rested our heads.  In the morning, we woke up and decided to explore the property.

This resort is amazing.  There are so many pools.  There are so many chairs, seating areas, and tables.  There is a perfect place for everyone to enjoy.

According to their FB page:

There's still time to ride the lazy river with Puffy.  River and slides open weekends through the end of September. Book your room soon! 1-800-433-2624

We had a relaxing time on the lazy river.  It is a perfect place to just relax.  But we also

enjoyed time in Puffy's Sprayground.  My Lil Bit had a blast in the toddler.  She made new friends while in the pool.  We also enjoyed lunch out by the pool.  You can order from the Cool Water Cafe and they bring it right to you.  The kid's meal we ordered came with chicken strips, a piece of fruit, a giant cookie, and a bag of chips.

A staycation is just what we needed to refresh ourselves and get-a-way from our routine.  It was nice to get away from it all, even our house.  Too bad we had to leave The Woodlands Resort and head home.
