In my vlog I promised pictures of our weekend, and I of course wanted to let everyone know more about it. We checked into the Country Inns & Suites  Friday afternoon and walked into this beautiful room.

I had my boys with me because DH wasn’t off work yet, so we looked around and explored. We munched on cookies from the lobby, checked out their little library they had, and went and looked at the pool.

That night, Marsh and I headed to Lagoon, an amusement park about 20 minutes away.

Headed up on our first roller coaster of the night.

Enjoying our alone time without kids!

The next day we picked up the kids and headed out to visit the Tabernacle at temple square, an activity that Country Inns Road Trips suggests. We had a great time at temple square and then headed over to The Gateway for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and to let the boys play in the fountains.

Then of course we headed back to do some swimming in the pool.

All in all, it was a wonderful weekend. I loved a lot of little details about the room and service such as:

  • The makeup remover towlette in the bathroom (seems small but I was impressed)
  • The continental breakfast
  • Beds were soft and comfortable. I can’t tell you how many hotels we’ve stayed in that have horrible beds
  • The staff was friendly. At one point I went down to the front desk to ask for a hair tie. I had forgotten one. It was something they didn’t have, but gave me a rubber band to help me improvise. I was glad that they were willing to help with something so small that they could have just brushed off.
  • There was a big beautiful mirror in the bathroom and plenty of counter space.
  • Free wireless internet that was FAST. The vlog that I uploaded in my last post was done in less than 2 minutes!

Country Inns also has a great deal going now that if you book 2 or more nights, you get 15% off, and their gold points plus program helps you earn free nights!

I could go on and on. I know that we will specifically look for Country Inns now when we travel. It was an awesome last minute family vacation and we were able to do a lot of fun things. Thanks to Country Inns for making this getaway fantastic!
