A day away...

Headed out yesterday for a "one night escape" at the Marriott Resort in Lincolnshire. The package includes tickets to the theatre, dinner, an overnight stay, and Sunday champagne brunch.


A sunny morning when we left and everything was turning green. Delicate new sprouts on all the roadside trees anxiously filling in the landscape among the evergreens. Fishermen out and ready at the sloughs. Fields of green with a multitude of wild dandelions couldn't prepare us for the field of wild cars on a Saturday on the expressway.


Arriving in Lincolnshire, it seemed to be filled with spring-green willow trees and this driveway leading to the resort is lined on both sides with blooming forsythia.

The view from our window.

Watching the birds.


I think they were trying to nest somewhere on the building near our windowsill.

"hello there!"

and the bees.

They are doing a big renovation and the new carpeting in the endless hallways is exciting and colorful!

The King's Wharf bar and restaurant. We enjoyed our dinner here, before the theatre. And then, the production of "Fiddler On The Roof" was outstanding!

Nautical decor in the bar. And this morning Champagne Brunch with an array of food. You couldn't have asked for more. And it was delicious!

The ducks sitting on the outdoor pool cover. Waiting...
