It sounds like an amazing retreat. I'm so glad you went and enjoyed it. I'm a golfer, and golfers are nice like that too. The only retreat experience I have had was on a golfing trip to a state park in Kentucky. A group of quilters spent the week there and worked on quilts. They let us walk through and look at all their projects. They were having a great time. I so wanted to bring my quilting and join them! They said they come there every year and enjoy the retreat so much. It was Pennyrile State Park, and the ladies were from Indiana I think.
