Well, I don't have any ideas for a place to stay, but I applaud the fact that you and your friend are taking a weekend off just the two of you to sew and talk, etc., etc. Mom's need time away from kids, husband, home, work or whatever to recharge their batteries so to speak. If you go to the well too many times it will be empty and then you won't be able to help. That's why airplanes tell passengers with children to take the oxygen masks first, then put the mask on their child/children. Have a wonderful time. I'm jealous, but maybe I'll have to think about doing it in the near future.
