During a salon manicure this week the conversation hopped station to station about the upcoming holidays - favorite foods, traditions, gift-giving ideas. It was all nice and proper. Then it happened. A shot for the starting gates was heard and the race was on. Someone mentioned IN-LAWS!
No matter how good that turkey looks, how clean the bathroom is, how fluffed the pillows - the monster-in-law will find something wrong, something out of place, some reason you don't take care of her 'baby' as good as she did when he lived with her! Then there is the father-in-law who smokes and the great aunt who can't climb the stairs, so she sleeps in your bed!
Where in the vows did it say you had to sleep on the couch for the holidays?
Your Memorable Moments celebrates life's getaways - my idea for the the best getaway is the "In-Law Getaway!" Everyone will enjoy this idea. You can still have all the festivities at your house, but when it is time to leave the table and head to bed, the in-laws leave your house!
They will love it too. Privacy, comfort, excellent service, a fun gift upon arrival and free breakfast - with no dishes to do and nothing to prepare! Hotels are offering great rates now to make the decision even easier. If my family wants some extras like a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates - they can add this or I can surprise them.
Imagine waking up in your own bed without the sound of a distant relative clearing his throat in your bathroom . . .
I think this idea will buzz through salons across the country. I have to go now, I need to make a reservation for six!
For more ideas on where to send your in-laws this Thanksgiving vacation, look no further than Your Memorable Moments' participating hotels. Want to add on a special package to their room so that they won't be in your hair and around to help cook? Look at some Memorable Moment's getaways here!

Love the idea! (Although that is no reflection whatsoever on my wonderful and kind in-laws.) :D
I have to agree..there are those of us who are very lucky in the in-law department!
I don't have in-laws yet, but I definitely think I'll be sending them to the hotel when I do! haha
I no longer have in-laws (and they were great!) but I am thinking this may be a wonderful opportunity to suprise my brother so he can give the gift to HIS in-laws. :)
cp said: out of town experiences*/oblgations are now part everyones lives. In laws don't want to travel and stay in family membershomes as they are familiar with quit , independent living. Putting them up in a hotel is a blessing and makes for smooth running visit for each party.
