Galveston Moody Gardens Hotel Getaway for Less!

Snagged this one and sharing it with you thanks to the Cut & Paste via LivingSocial Division:



You feel thankful for the good things in life—especially for getaways to the Gulf Coast of Texas for half the price. Escape to the Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Centerand experience a lush, vibrant oasis where you can completely unwind and have a yam-tastic time.
Get into the holiday spirit (and forgo the Black Friday frenzy) with a two-day Escape for two in a king or queen room between November 24 and November 26, including VIP passes for the Holiday Gift Show, tickets for the Festival of Lights, and a holiday welcome amenity upon arrival ($245).
Gobble up all the holiday sparkle you can handle and watch more than one million lights twinkle as you twirl around the area's only outdoor ice rink. Find a cornucopia of snacks and beverages in the VIP lounge, before snuggling up with your sweetie to watch a holiday flick in the MG 3D, 4D Special FX, or Ridefilm theater.
If you can't ditch the in-laws on Turkey Day, opt for a two-night stay for two in November, December, or January and receive two-day attraction passes ($265). You'll also receive fruit, wine, and cheese upon arrival. Feast your eyes on the exhibits in the Rainforest Pyramid or watch the penguins and seals play at theAquarium Pyramid, followed by a cruise around Offatts Bayou on the Colonel Paddlewheel Boat.

Your Staycation - You've Earned It - Stay at Baileys Uptown Inn for $142!

You work hard, but not too hard. Which means you might not have earned a full-fledged vacation to a far away destination, but you've earned a night away from the dog or the kids. Here are the details from the Cut & Paste via Living Social Division:

In a city known as the Big D, a surprisingly cozy oasis awaits. Leaving the high-rise madness behind with a dreamy Escape to Bailey's Uptown Inn, a divine bed and breakfast nestled in a charming nook of one of Dallas's most treasured neighborhoods, is as easy as A, B, C.


A is for Amenities. After parking your car for free, take a hold of your sweetie's hand as you check in for your one-night stay ($142) on the second floor of the inn. Unwind on your king-size bed, or take a relaxing soak in the private Jacuzzi tub in the Blue Room. Enjoy complimentary chocolates and a bottle of wine on the balcony of the Red Room, as you soak in the views of the nearby brownstones and lush, towering trees.

B is for Breakfast. Awaken to a full spread (on weekends only) of fresh fruit, juice, coffee, tea, and such hearty staples as French toast stuffed with cream cheese and strawberries, or Southwestern frittata and cloud cakes.

C is for Culture. Grab your map of the area (hint: it's in your included welcome basket), and hop on the trolley to the nearby Dallas Museum of Art. Post-portrait peek, grab a smoked turkey melt or a tarragon organic chicken salad sandwich in the museum's Atrium Cafe. (Go on Sunday and lock lips with the cafe's interactive Bloody Mary bar: You choose the ingredients, they pour the shot.)

D is for Drinks. In the afternoon, let the trolley carry you to McKinney Avenue, Uptown's vibrant main street, and a magnetic retail hub. Take your time window shopping before settling in for a glass of rare wine at Cork in the West Village, sipping a rustic Cabernet as you peruse the selection of eclectic wines from around the world.

E is for Entertainment. Head back to the inn for a late afternoon snooze, or go online from the comfort of your room. Once you've recharged, take in a classic musical at The Music Hall at Fair Park, a Spanish Baroque-style hall with six soaring stair towers and five arcade porches overlooking the park.

Sneak in a big city kiss, sealing the deal on an A-list Escape. Here's the Deal.

My Next Vacation, Please?

Just saw Living Social Escapes release this fantastic special and I so want to take advantage of this getaway:

A Texan Confection of Perfection

Like a cloud of cotton candy, this week's Escape is a light, airy getaway that's oh-so-sweet. Savor a two-night trip for two to a country cottage at Serenity Farmhouse Inn in Wimberley, Texas, and delight in a sumptuous bath package or a culinary trip that'll leave your taste buds wanting more.

Perched atop a hill in the middle of picture-perfect Texas Hill Country, the bed and breakfast offers a much-needed spoonful of tranquility to soothe your stresses and melt away concerns. Come for a two-night weekday ($298) or weekend ($389) stay and lounge around on hand-ironed vintage linens in a quaint cottage bedchamber.

The inn is peppered with antiques, fine china, and fresh flowers, not to mention endearing little farm animals that never stray far. Whether you're in the White Willow cottage with its lovely canopy bed, or the Poet's Cottage with its library and 1930s crystal chandelier, you and your travel companion will get a taste of cozy antiquity.

Wake up to a hearty in-room breakfast every morning, then meander through shops in Wimberley Square and see "Shakespeare Under The Stars" at the Emily Ann Theatre. Head to Wimberley Glass Works to see glass-blowers demonstrate their craft, or stroll through a nearby lavender field for a deliciously aromatic experience.

Click here for all the deets and to take advantage of this fantastic deal. I'm more relaxed just thinking about it.

You Next Getaway

Groupon, Living Social, Yipit and a bunch of other people send me their daily emails, and, just because I'm a good person, I read all of them and give you the good ones. Not the obnoxious ones for hair removal or yet another facial (not that those aren't good, but enough already). But here's a site you may actually want to bookmark. I know, I know, you're all like, "But B, I don't have time to read your blog and check out another site." Fine, no biggie, but you should still check out this site because you can get great deals on lots of vacations and getaways. Seriously, got one for the Sig-O and myself the other day. It's like a staycation, but more fun because you're actually going somewhere. Check it out: http://escapes.livingsocial.com/deals

You Enjoy the Suite Life

Looking for a surprise in town getaway (because staycation is a stupid made up craptastic word)? The Magnolia Hotel is giving you a free suite upgrade on selected nights that only cost $109. You don't have to tell the Sig-O that it's free, you can just let him or her think that how you roll. Roll on.
