OK still in Texas and had a great weekend. Friday we did some stops around Montgomery, Sat we just took a chill day–watched a movie Now You See Me—excellent adventure http://www.nowyouseememovie.com/ and yesterday we went to a Cowboy Church, then had a great breakfast at Montgomery Steak House and in the evening went to a local winery where they have entertainment outside–you bring food, tables, chairs and buy the wine there. Last night it was the Fab Five, a group that does the Beatles and other songs from the era. The place was really full, lots of people dancing and lots of wine drank—Groovey http://www.thefab5.net/index1.htm
Read about this really neat hotel in Sweden. It’s located near Harads (from what I read it’s in the north—the town and Sweden). The Treehotel ( http://www.treehotel.se/) and it has five room that are actually hanging from tree branches .
I pulled up the site http://www.treehotel.se/?pg=rooms ” A total of 8-10 rooms have been planned for the forest area around Harads. Right now we offer five unique treerooms, built in 2010 and designed by some of Scandinavia’s leading architects. More rooms will be completed in 2013. In addition to the five tree rooms there is also a tree sauna for up to twelve people, situated among the centuries-old pines.”
This is their description of one of the rooms: “The Bird’s nest is built on the contrasts between the outside and inside. The tree room ’s exterior is nothing but a gigantic bird’s nest. . The interior…a spacious environment where a family with two children can comfortably spread out. The walls are…wood panels and the windows almost disappear in the exterior’s network of branches….has separate bedrooms, bathroom, and living area. You enter… with the help of a retractable staircase.” Cost is $4,936.46 for two (children under 12 free) there’s no TV but it does include a breakfast buffet.
