UPDATE: Comment #12 has been randomly selected as the winner. Congratulations Kirsten!
Sometimes an overnight staycation is exactly what you need.
Several weeks ago, before our summer got really crazy, we enjoyed a day/night on the town over Father’s Day weekend, just before we traveled to Kenya.
We checked into The Woodlands Resort (North of Houston, Texas) and the person in charge checked out the amenities.
My son checked out the rollaway bed. He was pretty excited about it:
My daughter found snow cones around the pool and the fun was just starting.
When we got back to our room, we devoured an afternoon snack (my kids were so impressed)
The night ended with a Dive-In Movie around the pool. But I’m not going to lie, my favorite part was the super, amazing, deluxe breakfast the next morning before church.
There were seriously about 200 choices!
It was an awesome weekend!
I’m happy to announce The Woodlands Resort is providing give away an Oasis of Fun package that is an overnight stay for two adults (and up to two kids) plus breakfast for four! It includes many amenities like the amazing pools, sauna, steam room, Fitness Center and Forest Oasis Waterscape.
Please check out The Woodalands Resort and leave a comment if you’d like to win!
This giveaway ends on Friday.
I would LOVE LOVE to win! I am pregnant and would love one last getaway with my husband (and perhaps my 3 year old can come too
) before the baby comes! Thanks for the giveaway!
Beautiful place!
This would be so amazing! My brother and SIL just moved to the area and that sounds like an added bonus in going to visit them =)
How fun would that be?! My husband and I stayed there for our first anniversary but have never been with kids…they would love it!
My BFF lives in The Woodlands and we’ve been to the resort a few times. I LOVED it! And would LOVE to go back!
Oh this would be so much fun – with or without the kids!
It would be perfect for us! I too am about to have a baby and my husband and I need one least moment of peace before boy #2 gets here.
Looks awesome!!
our family would LOVE to win this!
oooh! oooh! pick me! pick me! my man and oldest daughter are serving orphans in china as i type. it would be great for them to return to a wonderful getaway to debrief and decompress–to be refreshed and pampered. i’m afraid our a/c less situation is a little less lavish than the woodlands resort! haha! thanks for the opportunity~!
What a beautiful place and a wonderful giveaway. This would be a fun stop on our Fall cross country trip, the kids would love it and so would us. Thank you for the opportunity.
Heck yes! I love what you guys have done in Kenya, and am a huge WFMW fan. Thanks for a reason to come out of lurkdom. Lurkersville? Spell check says those aren’t real, but I’m going with it.
We would love to stay there! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
How lovely! I would love to win!
Would LOVE to win! The hubby and I have struggled with saying no to vacation this year due to finances. Would be nice to have a mini one from a giveaway. =)
How fun! That looks like it would be an amazing vacation!
How Fun, we would love this!
That place looks amazing! My son would also be impressed with the roll-away bed.
In ministry and haven’t had a vacation in yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs. Our family of four could use some serious reprieve time away from ministry responsibilities. Thanks for doing an awesome giveaway! Here’s hoping!
Wow, what a gorgeous place! We would love to win. We missed our vacation opportunity this year because of a tropical storm and are in desperate need of a getaway!
This resort looks spectacular! We would love the opportunity to take our kids on a getaway vacation.

We didn’t take a vacation during Spring Break this year, so a surprise vacation for the four of us would be wonderful!
Wow…the pool looks super fun! And I love that rollaway bed picture.
Ohhhh, how we need a staycation!! And less than an hour from home, yes, please!
What a fun, great place to go!
Wow! That looks like a ton of fun! I can see my kids getting a kick out of the roll away bed and the humongous cookie too! We have not taken a real vacation in I don’t know how long, so a trip to Woodlands would be wonderful.
Wow – its beautiful!! Looks like great fun!
So fun! And we are really close to The Woodlands and expecting a baby next week, so a staycation would be right up our ally!
I need this. I am due (with my third) on Sept 5. My two boys are keeping me on my toes, even when I can’t see my toes. It would be nice to relax before SHE arrives. I need a girl after two boys. =)
My Hubby was just saying we need a stay cation! This would make that happen. Thanks Kristin! Love the pics of yours. Especially the ones of the person in charge!
Would love to win! Looks awesome!

We are a few hours away from Houston and would love to win this trip. My husband works very hard at our
concrete business and serving the youth at our church when he is not working. This would be a great way
foe me to give back to him.

What a fabulous family get-away! Our kids would definitely have a blast here!
Wow! This place looks awesome. I would never want to come home!
