Club Getaway is a sprawling camp in Kent,CT. The complex hosts weekends for families but also adult-only weekends. When I heard about the place, I wrote an article about how I would do business with them, I said we would be promotional partners. They heard my challenge, reached out and invited me up for their fall finale.

My wife and I went and life will never be the same again. Everyday I am not there, will seem incomplete. In my home, we have a problem, my wife is normal and loves activities and I'm a psycho. I claim to not like activities but I secretly love them. My issue with activities is that they are normally too far away from my bed. Anything more than a quarter mile from my bed is an inconvenience to me. I also like to be able to exit activities at a moment's notice. Club Getaway solved our problem and made for an amazingly enjoyable weekend for both Erica and I.

In the course of the weekend we ate like Kings and Queens, drank all of our favorite beverages and took part in an unusual amount of activities for such a short period of time. We did a pie baking class, pumpkin carving, a football game with tailgate, a mixology class, did a wall climb, went zip-lining, played dodge-ball, music bingo and went to the best Halloween party I've ever been a part of.

The Halloween Party was off the chain as they say. This is picture of the room while they were setting up. The theme would be American Horror Story 1984.

I have so many other pictures/videos of this amazing night. I can't use any of the videos because of the music (copyright issues) or the photos (blur issues due to alcohol consumption). Trust me when I tell you, they nailed every element of the theme, the music was perfect and the walk-through haunted house was terrifying.

This above photo was taken right before music bingo which quickly turned into drink TRULY's and dance Bingo.

You know how they say "happy wife, happy life?" Erica smiled all weekend and I didn't get yelled at once. OK, not completely true, I got yelled at one time, which is my all-time best for any weekend, ever.

We even made friends, it's not hard to do.

Listen, my wife and I badly needed a weekend alone at the time so we could reconnect and act like kids and that is exactly what Club Getaway provided us. Kent, CT is twenty five minutes from my house, dropped the kids off got in the car and before we knew it, we were in adult playground like I had never seen before.

Their fall finale is the event we attended and it's their last of the season but they start the fun back up in the Spring. I'll be there this coming year and there is not a damn thing that could stop me. Thank you to David and the entire staff for a memorable weekend. I give it two thumbs up, five stars, two snaps up in a circle, Chef recommends (I'm chef).
