Last weekend, Aaron and I decided to jump the gun on the beginning of summer and wanted to take a little weekend road trip. I found a Groupon deal for the Parker Inn + Suites in Schenectady, NY and my first reaction was, “Schenectady?

Even though I’m becoming somewhat OK with the colder weather and learning to appreciate everything that Canada throws my way – good or bad – I’m still never going to be 100% on board with snow and cold temps.
