There is no formal Abby’s Saturday update from us this week, because we’ve been off on vacation all week! (Spoiler alert: it’s been amazing!)
Back story:
Last spring when we went to Florida, we survived a time-share presentation (without buying anything – WOOP) and they gave us a free 7-day stay at one of their “resorts” as a thank you for our (endurance.. err..) time. In the moment, we felt like that was a great deal – but after we got home and looked at the options available to us – we realized we might never actually use that free stay. We had other trips and things planned for 2022 (and then Derrick had “the bug” over the summer which used up a good chunk of his personal time) – and so as we continued through the year, we realized we just did not have the time to use that 7-day stay.
Which brings us to 2023. The free stay was good for one year, so as the expiration date was approaching, we started looking to see if we could use it anywhere for anything – knowing full well that we may just forfeit it.
BUT – we found a week that we could stay in Williamsburg, Virginia (for just $25 a day “maintenance fee” – yeah, a lot of the resorts had much higher fees attached to their “free stays”) and so we decided to go for it!
So, this past week – the kids and I and my Mom have been in Williamsburg, Virginia! Derrick came down last weekend (he actually left early Saturday morning, took Braelynn, and the two of them stopped at Kings Dominion on their way down), and then he took yesterday off, so he brought my Dad and came down Thursday night for a long weekend.
We’ve had the most wonderful, relaxing week! We visited Busch Gardens, the beach, and Colonial Williamsburg.
We cannot wait to share all about the fun we’ve had – so stay tuned!
