Thank you for sharing such a wonderful place, so much history, charm and beauty. I’m glad you two are having a fabulous time. Can’t wait for the next video. By the way, I love the tea set you shared, so pretty. TFS! Xoxo ❤
Debbie, Thank you for sharing this amazing Journey. The West Baden is just magnificent, the architecture and decor is just stunning. I see why you love it. The atrium ceiling changing color. The butter shaped into a seashell, 5 star all the way. You looked lovely. If walls could talk there would be lots of amazing stories of guests. Looking forward to the next one, until then.
Yeess! At least we get to hear about a few of the stories of guests and some of the photos on the walls are from family who had relatives that stayed there. The current owners of the hotel have a photo of their parents in the front of the hotel in the 20s, little did they know that one day their daughter would resurrect the hotel from the ashes and bring it back to it's pride of the turn of the century.
What a great quiet, relaxing get away with the one you love. My soulmate passed 21 years ago, so I really imagine what it would be like if he were still here, and we could enjoy this part of our golden years together. But since I can't , I love you taking me along to experience such a gorgeous place. All the food also looked so good. Will have to look up the carnivore diet.... but cannot imagine a life with no fruits or vegetables or salads at all. I do love all eggs,fish, chicken, meats so that part would be easy.
Liane, such a long time to miss your soulmate. I am glad that you enjoyed the trip! Oh and I am having a little issue coming off of the sugar...it takes about 3 days to get the craving to go away if you have a problem like I do. I've been home 4 days and haven't made it through one sugarless day yet! Carnivore is easy once you get passed a week of it. I decided to try it for 10 days and I felt so great I just didn't stop and next thing you know it was 5 months later and 30 lbs less! It is effortless, but you have to keep the fat high, so lots of butter!
I wish I paid more attention. I am going to have to go back and watch the video! Funny in the three times we have been there no one has mentioned that. Oh but I imagine you are talking about French Lick not West Baden....I can totally see that. We only had the tour there once and I remember so little of it. Next time we will take that tour again. I love hearing the history!
Thank you for letting us have part of your get-away! I loved the tour of the hotel, I’ve never seen one like this hotel. It was breathtaking! Hope you two had a great time!
Love the furniture and the ceiling painting of the French Lick Hotel 🏨 … Thank you for the tour 🤩… Your husband is very charming it was nice to meet him 😊
Well go with you! They are sold out almost every weekend though. I want to go at Christmas time. They are decorated for 50 days. Thanksgiving to first week of January.
Oh Debbie, Thank you for taking us to see the Gorgeous Hotel.......It reminds me of The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado It's our Special Place and only 30 minutes away. I'm a Native of Colorado....You two are a darling couple.
Glad to know of the Broadmoor, I will have to look it up. I don't love to go to Colorado because of the altitude, I have to take meds to not get sick. But I love to ski so I do it occasionally.
That hotel is gorgeous! I love the history behind it! The atrium’s ceiling with the ever changing colors, as well as the live musician really sets the tone. I can picture even as far back as the 1920’s visitors dressed to the nines, enjoying a fun stay! So cool about the healing properties of the Pluto water. I use a volcanic ash/sulphur soap with a few other ingredients on my face for my Rosacea as well as a royal jelly lotion. The food, drinks and deserts look delicious! Congrats on your weight loss! I’m a lifetime member of Weight Watchers. I loved it and felt less pressure since no one ever knew I was on it since I could eat anything I wanted, only in smaller amounts. But, at my last weigh in, there was a woman in line waiting to be weighed as well. She yells at the top of her lungs, while pointing at me, “Omg why is she even here!” I got out of line and never went back. I had been offered a job and was at my goal weight but was on maintenance. People have shamed me more for being skinny than for being a bit overweight. I once asked my soccer coach (who was also the boy’s wrestling coach) what I could do to gain weight. He suggested weight gainer. So I foolishly took it. We live and learn. Thanks for taking us along on your fun getaway. I’m glad they were able to fit you in for your mani. Love your nail polish color! Funny, I was on vacation in Florida once and the time zone near the pan handle was different. Central time zone, rather than Eastern. I had no idea. ❤️
What an awful experience at WW. How people can be so unaware of their words is beyond me. I have stories, but not for here. The time change is strange because Indiana does not participate in Daylight Savings time so there is no time difference from us to them at certain times of the year😊
This was over 25 years ago. I’d have a different reaction at this point in my life. I’d smile and say, “God Bless you!” And definitely not leave the room. But, most people I come across are wonderful. 😊 I’m in NJ and we still have Daylight Savings. We also don’t pump our own gas here. 😊
That place is amazing, I live about 30 miles from there, go there often, the Dome is great too🥰 Love sitting on the front porch in the rocking chairs♥️
You are blessed to be able to visit so often. I know we are as well to live in the tourism area of Branson and visit Top of the Rock and Big Cedar for any occasion. I won't ever take for granted the beauty of the places I live in or near,
Oh my word, this was just fabulous, Debbie! I can't even imagine how amazing it would be at Christmas! My husband and I are stuck at home isolating in Houston because we both have Covid! 🤒 This tour carried me far, far away to paradise! Great medicine! Thank you for 40 minutes of pleasure in Indiana ❣️
Wow, that hotel would hold a whole lot of people when full. I think I would enjoy it “off season” as well. It’s been a cold day here in KS, was 11 degrees this morning when we got up. Thank you for sharing and I hope you had safe travels home🤗
Beautiful place! Thanks for sharing! I can’t believe you are carnivore. I started carnivore in 2021 and lost 40 pounds and then my dad died and I went off of it. I am just getting ready to start it back up.
Congrats on that. I think I have about 10 more lbs to go, but at this moment it may be more...because I won't weigh until I know I am back down to where I was before I left for the trip. I gained weight after each of my parents passed. It wasn't an overt over eating, I just was not eating the right things, way too much sugar and carbs.
Such a beautiful hotel. I love history of small towns, they tend to offer so much more than expected. It’s sad that History is becoming a thing of the past in schools now, the future isn’t going to know some of the best parts of the world they live in. ❤
I wasn't a great fan of history in school and I was an honor student, but now, I eat it up. So perhaps when children are older, they will seek out the history on their own...it is actually so much more meaningful when we visit places and discover for ourselves.
What a wonderful experience..the hotels are so exquisite ..makes me crave a trip to Asheville NC to stay at the Grove Park Inn and roam through the majestic Biltmore Mansion..the winery there is divine… Have you ever been?❤❤❤
Oh yes, not at the Grove Park Inn, but we stayed at the Biltmore Inn on property twice...while that is not a historic inn, touring the Biltmore is always a privilege. We really built our dream home thinking how people used to travel and stay months at a time as guests...we don't want months, but we hope our friends are comfortable a week or more!
Not sure if it’s the same one, I just ran across it by accident last week but I don’t know the name. I get 2-3 minute snippets to select from where I pay for the music but once it is embedded into the video I don’t know what it is. If I find it again I’ll Popp it in the community page
Thank you for taking us on your travels. The majesty of an old historic hotel is breathtaking! Such a lovely and special place for celebrating.💗💝💗
I am so glad you enjoyed it. I get such inspiration for my home when I stay in these gorgeous places. I came home with new ideas for the new home!
What a beautiful Hotel ! Thanks for sharing your vacation with me.
Our pleasure!
Just beautiful! I love well maintained historic buildings. Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed
My husband was engineer and redid the roads and the sign going in, worked there for two years❤️
How amazing to be able to work on a project like these hotels. It is such a place in time that hopefully will be here long after we are gone.
That was so fun Debbie!! Thank you for taking us along. Loved it❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for joining me and for commenting!
Such a lovely hotel ty for sharing your vacation with us.
Our pleasure!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing. I’m inspired 😊
So glad!
Debbie, absolutely a beautiful hotel❤ Love that you gave us a tour of everything, including your meals!! I am going to watch again!! Thank you

Thank you Liz, Tea Forte is not only delicious but the presentation it is everything and that means like decor in food or serving, right?!

What a beautiful hotel ! Love the atrium ! What a nice getaway ❤❤❤❤
Yes it was!
What an amazing place, my kinda trip, I’m sure it was a wonderful time!
It really is!

I hope you are better now. I had it 3 times, the first was the worst.
Wow, that hotel would hold a whole lot of people when full. I think I would enjoy it “off season” as well. It’s been a cold day here in KS, was 11 degrees this morning when we got up. Thank you for sharing and I hope you had safe travels home🤗
We are back home, but the drive was ice over snow all week. Suppose to be 60 on Monday!
Beautiful, tfs!

Hi! Do you mind sharing the name of the song in your intro? My 15mo old loves it and I’m trying to identify it! Thank you!
