Oglebay

Our Christmas vacation! We escaped cold, cold snowy Erie, PA! We went to Oglebay Resort just outside of Wheeling, West Virginia. We only stayed a night and 2 days but it was "Wild and Wonderful", as West Virginia goes. Trent used to come down here in the summer for his management seminars-he always loved it and wanted us to come try it out-it was beautiful. West Virginia is so incredible hilly-I wish I would have taken pictures of the old rickety houses sitting on rocks, hanging over cliffs. Oglebay sits on the top of a-would it be a mountain?, or would it just be a large hill, either way it winds around and around going up with those 150 year old rickety houses dotting the cliffs. Oglebay Resort property is basically the whole entire top of the mountain, it's quite a sight.
Of course the indoor pools were the girls favorite.






The festival of lights is the main attraction Oglebay host in the winter. It was really nice, but we started it late and it goes on for miles...and miles.... The girls were all asleep by the time we made it back to the lodge. It was such a nice break and little vacation, hopefully we can make this a tradition.
