Dirty Dancing, filmed at Mountain Lake Resort

ok, so Dirty Dancing is like my favorite movie of all time! i've loved this movie for as long as i can remember (ok, it came out in '87 when i was 8 - so to me, it's been around forever! ~lol~).....it has also become one of gabby's favorites.....we watch it together (and mommy fast forwards through the lovey dovey scene) & then recreate the dances in our living room ;0)

it was filmed at Mountain Lake Resort which is only a 2 1/2 hour drive from me......i've always wanted to check this place out, but never really got around to planning a trip

well evidentially, my sis was recently talking to some co-workers about the lake & got the idea that she and i should go together to visit the place soon....i mention that i'd want to take gabby along, but that i'm all for it.....looking at our calendars, it looked as tho it would be late July before we could fit it in.....then she calls me today and asks about this Sunday! it turns out that all my cakes are due either friday or early saturday & curtis is working all weekend.....my mom wants to go too, and my sis' mother-in-law has offered to watch jaden (along with my nephew)....so now not only gabby, but corinn is coming too!

my sis called the resort and it turns out that one of the staff will give you an unscheduled tour any time....they'll even point out the different spots that are in the movie, etc.....we're going to leave early sunday morning & take the tour.....maybe eat in the same dining hall as in the movie! an all-girl road trip!

i'm so excited!!!
