Another Weekend Away

We have been on the go again this weekend! LL had a conference for the PVMA (PA Vet Med Assn), and he invited us to come along. I wasn't feeling 100% yet after being sick this week, but decided I was up to it, and I'm glad I did! The conference was Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, a fabulous, five-star resort in Western PA near Pittsburgh. It was so fun! Here is our fabulous room:



Although she had a great crib set up for her, Collette thought the big King Sized bed was pretty awesome!




On Saturday, in between sessions, we went to visit the Animal Hospital on premises, and the swanky Pet Spa! We also got to tour "the Wildside" a small group of exotic animals they have on the property. Collette LOVED the animals! Here are a few of her favorites:

This lion cub was adorable!


Sloth in a laundry basket! Too funny.



This teeny, tiny, monkey was a big hit:


Kangaroos:


This guy is a capybara, the world's largest type of rodent. He's actually some body's house pet!


But these were Collette's absolute favorites--the Kudamundi! They climbed their fence and got as close as possible to Collette. She thought they were so funny!






After nap time, when LL finished his sessions, we took Collette to the pool. She is such a little fishy and had a great time in the water with her Daddy!



Later that night we went to the resort's huge sports bar/restaurant with some other conference attendees and watched the Steelers playoff game. So fun.

The resort had lots of art, including several sculptures. There was one life-size sculpture of a man sitting on a bench, with his dog looking at him. Collette LOVED that dog! Every time we passed it she had to go over to it, hug it, and pet it. She was so funny!

Ready for lunch!


We had a great weekend, but it's so nice to be back home.
