The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island dates back to a time when families “summered” at large lakeside resorts and spent their days swimming, sipping cocktails in rocking chairs before dinner, and dancing the night away to live entertainment.

The Grand Hotel’s Mother’s Day Weekend package is designed for families who want to celebrate mom with a weekend together. The package includes accommodation, daily breakfast and dinner, Mother’s Day morning brunch with champagne toast, daily and nightly entertainment throughout the weekend and much more.

West Baden Springs Hotel — West Baden, Indiana

VISIT FRENCH WESTBADEN

The West Baden Springs Hotel is a historic luxury resort in southern Indiana’s Hoosier National Forest. What does this mean for mom? Pampering and tranquil environment. The hotel is over 100 years old and has a huge glass-domed atrium (some rooms have atrium views). It also features an indoor pool and hot tub, and a full-service spa.

The real appeal of this property is the natural sulfur springs that give the hotel its name. When the hotel opened in the late 19th century, guests came from far and wide to experience the healing waters of the springs. Today you can wander the outdoor gardens and see some of the fountains that were used to draw water from the springs that still stand.

There’s also a trolley service that takes guests to the neighboring French Lick Resort, where there’s a casino, bowling alley, and more beautiful scenery to explore.

When booking the Mother’s Day package, you will receive one night’s accommodation for two on May 13th or 14th at the West Baden Springs Hotel and a Mother’s Day brunch for two in the Atrium on May 14th.

Project description

Established as the most ambitious and exciting project yet in the company’s 70-year history, Family Handyman, a leading home improvement destination, built a 1,000-square-foot getaway home that shows home improvement shows how to get out of the woods of Northern Wisconsin. Wayne Dalton was commissioned by Family Handyman to transform a second dream home into a DIY reality using a contemporary model 8850 aluminum garage door with a black anodized frame and clear glass for a modern look with maximum visibility.

“Inspired by last year’s mantra to stay at home, Family Handyman awakened the desire to escape the daily grind that many of us came across with the idea of ​​building a quiet and functional home for a short vacation. By incorporating the 8850’s sleek design in place of a traditional wall to enhance the functionality of the home, the team was able to reinforce the Getaway home’s glass surfaces and patios and beautifully blend indoor and outdoor spaces for the ultimate vacation experience, ”said Sarah Schram, Senior Brand Marketing Manager at Wayne Dalton.

The Model 8850 garage doors installed by Lakeland Overhead Garage Door Corporation feature full-view glass panels that provide unobstructed year-round visibility. Key features of the Model 8850 include a sturdy, anodized aluminum frame, tongue and groove connections, and reinforced fins with a heavy-duty rail and mounts for years of trouble-free, trouble-free operation.

What you see: The scene at Sly Park last week was beautiful: a full lake surrounded by conifers, a couple of boats strewn across the water, and a handful of kayaks and motor boats. From the dam to the east one could see some islands in front of the main part of the lake, which were framed on the horizon by the ridge of the sierra. Jenkinson Lake is the heart of the Sly Park Recreation Area. The lake is 640 acres, small enough to have a sense of intimacy and lovely camping areas, big enough for boating, fishing, and water sports.

Place: Jenkinson Lake is located near Pollock Pines (on Highway 50) at an elevation of 3,500 feet on the western flank of the Sierra.

Boat / swimming: The temperature of the lake reaches the high 70’s during the summer heat waves. The main lake is big enough for water sports, where boats go counter-clockwise for water skiing and wakeboarding on crowded weekends. Kayaks, canoes, and standup paddle boards (SUPs) instead head to the head of the lake above the Narrows, where a speed limit of 5 miles per hour is enforced. The days of the week were calm.

Boat rules: No private watercraft. Before launching, check your boat for clams and weeds and make sure your boat is clean and dry. A boat patrol enforces a speed limit of 5 miles per hour within 60 feet of swimming areas, banks, and structures, 30 feet of skiers in the water, and upstream of the narrows.

Rentals: Current Adventures rents kayaks, canoes and SUPs from Friday to Sunday and on public holidays. The rental is located at the Stonebraker Launch Ramp. Online reservations can be made through http://currentadventures.com.

Warehouse: Lake view camps include the Pinecone Strip (tent sites only, no shallow RV sites), Sierra, and Chimney, where boats can be parked on the shore near your campsite. In total, Sly Park has 10 campsites with 191 pitches that offer a variety of settings for tents and RVs up to 12m in length, from private, wooded off-water pitches to lakeside pitches with less privacy. Make a reservation at 530-295-6810.

Camping etiquette: Quiet time enforced 10:00 pm to 7:00 am No amplified music, no admission after the gate has closed during the night; many other published rules are enforced to eliminate rude behavior.

Fish: Jenkinson Lake is one of the few lakes in the area where you can fish for perch. Bluegill are more common. The best area is from the Narrows to the entrance of Hazel Creek; It’s popular with kayaks and a speed limit of 5 mph will keep water skiers away. From late autumn to spring, the lake is stocked with rainbow trout. A couple of large but elusive Mackinaw trout roam the depths.

Explore: Sly Park has a hiking / mountain biking trail that circles Jenkinson Lake. The route is approximately 8.5 miles, with a short stretch of road and some climbs not suitable for teenagers.

Forest thin is over: Earlier this year, dead trees were removed from the back of the park to reduce the risk of fire. The website says this is still happening, but that activity is over.

Contact: Sly Park Recreation Area, El Dorado Irrigation District, 530-295-6824, www.eid.org.

How to get there

From the Bay Area: Take Interstate 80 to Sacramento and the fork (keep left) on US 50 (also signposted for I-80 Business Loop / Capital City Freeway). Stay left and travel 8.2 miles to join US 50. Join US 50 and travel 84.4 miles (past Placerville) to Exit 60 on Sly Park Road. Take the Sly Park Road exit, turn right and travel 4.2 miles to Lakewood Drive. Turn left and drive a short distance to the campsite (the road continues along the lake to the headwaters); turn right to the main boat ramp, dam (or drive past the lake to the Mormon Emigrant Trail).

Distances: 5 miles from Pollock Pines, 17 from Placerville, 60 from Sacramento, 117 from Vallejo, 126 from Concord, 146 from San Francisco.
