However, although Congress Hall has been renovated a number of times over the years (most recently majorly rehabbed in 2002), calling what happened in 1879 a renovation? It burned down In the great fire of 1878, so, no, not a renovation!<br />Karen Hhttp://www.congresshall.com/content/history.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-74832399768676785542011-06-23T03:14:28.434-04:002011-06-23T03:14:28.434-04:00Ellen, your post is amazing!

Relaxing, not as much! But I would love to return to this place with them and Dave—Felicia, Dave is just as jealous, if not more!<br /><br />Welcome, Kimmy! Glad to have you here.<br /><br />We Take It Day By Day: What a great name for the blog. I think I need the bumper sticker! I personally don't feel guilty for relaxing—I just have a hard time doing it. I know that I'm a better mother when I take time for myself—you should look at it that way, too. Also, you DESERVE it.Ellen Seidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433429847255621203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-80668244073439982622011-06-21T09:28:34.813-04:002011-06-21T09:28:34.813-04:00I'm very glad you got a chance to relax.

So funny, we went to the same place, actually spent a lot of time together, and had completely different agendas and perspectives. I rarely have trouble relaxing (it's so often the opposite) that my entire reaction was "OMG, I can't wait to bring my family here!" <br /><br />But we both agree that Congress Hall was spectacular. And I'm glad you were able to relax. :-)Selfish Momhttp://selfishmom.comnoreply@blogger.com
