Our latest travel highlight entry is from Kelly Reising, who was voted the overall winner in our Travel Story competition:
The week my dad passed away, I was staying where my parents lived. The hotel had outdoor pools. There was even a lazy river through the aqua park! A lovely setting along Lake Conroe even in a horrible time, with dad ending his year long battle against cancer. My now husband flew in after I had been there a week. After the airport we decided to take a dip in the closed lazy river. In our clothing. Luckily at midnight, no one at the hotel seemed to notice we were blowing off our sadness by having a little swimming fun.
