We're Here! BLT was fun for a couple nights, but coming home to VWL is just so relaxing. No agenda. No rush & hustle. No phone service... Yup, absolutely no phone service in our room. Fine for me as I'm not working this vacation, but it's driving the kids nuts.
We have a black widow out on our patio. She's not bugging us, so we won't bug her. I'm a little surprised housekeeping didn't sweep her away as she built her web between the chair and a bush. We've also had visitors: 2 geckos and a hummingbird drinking from the little flowers growing out here. No bunnies yet, but there's a mysterious pile of pine needles with a snake or chipmunk sized hole in it.
On check in yesterday we were informed numerous times that they'd have the hot water off from 1am until 5am and apologizing for the inconvenience. No biggie I thought... who's up at that time? Little did I realize the plumbing work was being done right outside our door

. 2:30am I woke to hammering and filing. I peeked out the door and sure enough a plumber resembling a thin Santa was plugging an electric saw in and climbed a ladder. Took an Advil PM (last resort) and slept the rest of the night away without issue.
Bumming around hidden springs and the lodge today - MK is open until 3am so we'll have a late night.
So good to be home. Will post pics of BLT and VWL in awhile here.
