<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFirst, we thought about going to the Dominican Republic but our passports would not be ready in time. Next, we considered Puerto Rico because no passports would be needed. Since my late father-in-law<\/a> was experiencing some health challenges, we chose a resort in the New York Tri-State area instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I thought that perhaps we should wait until another time to take the trip.\u00a0 Then, I told myself\u00a0 \u201cNo.\u201d There are always going to be obstacles for family trips but we should make this vacation happen now and appreciate it as a family. I\u2019m so glad that we did! When our vacation ended, life got busy again and I am grateful for those special moments together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I talked to the marketing team at Crystal Springs Resort and received a special media rate to stay at the Minerals Hotel<\/a>. My family had a fantastic time, even though we were a bit tired from a camp that we had attended the previous week.<\/p>\n\n\n At first, I thought we would mainly rest and eat but our trip was very active. On the first day, we checked out what activities the resort offered and made a list of things that everyone wanted to do. We didn\u2019t finish everything on the list but still felt like it was a fantastic trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had a Deluxe Room with Balcony\/Patio. It was nice, clean and comfortable. I am fond of doing a walk-through of rooms so you can see the room for yourself below:<\/p>\n\n\n\nFamily Fun at Minerals Hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
