My parents live about two hours north of there, so we can stay at Hotel Nana on the way down. Your post has inspired to me to be all the more determined to make it happen.

Ours have been pestering us to take them back to our "monastic home" in PA (Holy Protection). It's a VERY long drive and we'd like to head to one closer sooner.<br /><br />My experience is that women's monasteries are a little more "family friendly" than men's, but that's just a generalization. The nuns have always adored our children and the kids knew it.Matushka Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097149212770814noreply@blogger.com
