Mini vacation!
So over the last weekend we went to Colorado to look around for possible towns to move too ( we found a really nice house on 40 acres for only 60k$!)

When we first got there we decided to stay at the "Garden of Gods Club" in Colorado Springs because they had high ratings and it was only $75 for a king bed and it even had a nice view. I booked the room via Expedia and when we got there the guy took like 20 minutes on his computer trying to figure out how we booked it because the room wasn't avalible. He upgraded us to one of the suites. It was like heaven! We had access to the spa and everything included (paid $75 for an overall package that would've been 379$/Night)

The best thing about it is the personal balcony overlooked the Garden of Gods and the mountain. Very amazing view I have pictures if anyone would like to see.

Ever accidentally get sweet deals? Do you vacation? Where do you want to vacation?

Woot upgrades are always awesome! hope you enjoyed that suite :)

I'm going on a weekend getaway in a few weeks, I booked the most romantic attic suite ever!
Has two rooms with a massive rotating bed, bathroom with a tub, own kitchen & dining room, tv + playstation(lol) + wifi, gorgeous fireplace and room service 24/7 and to top that off, a balcony with a view of the whole old city of Tallinn only 120€ a night ;)
Thank freaking god for Estonia <3 Here you couldn't even get a room with a twin bed for that price.

That sounds awesome soph not a bad price at all either.

Our room has like a walk in closet, a bathroom with a stand up enclosed shower and a bathtub, a tv in the bedroom and living room that could connect to the Internet. And a fully stocked minibar I was too afraid to touch (pretty sure all the liquor that was in it would've been like $30 a shot)

Would've been awesome to have a rotating bed haha

What is wrong with the 40 acres that it's so cheap?

Nothing. The people got it when their family member died, they don't want it because the upkeep and I happened to talk to them about it first. Not sure if we're going to get it yet though seeing as the house is only a 3 Bd 1 Bath and we really need atleast a 4Bd 2 Bath. I told my girlfriend we could just move a modular home in, but she isn't too keen on it
