Take Your Sweetheart To ACE For Valentine's Day

My Google Calendar is overloaded with things. Deadlines. Appointments. The last thing I want to worry about is a made-up, fake holiday like Valentine's Day.

You will not see me going out and buying a Ground Hog's Day card. To me, Ground Hog's Day is a movie, not an occasion. And Arbor Day. Is it ironic to buy an Arbor Day card made of paper from a tree? It totally challenges my newly discovered green attitude. We are killing trees to make cards made of trees for a fake holiday about trees. Confusing.

But I digress. This is about February 14th, and how ACE has just what you need for this so-called holiday.

Whitewater Rafting Into A Wedding At ACE

Posted by: ScottP in Weddings, romance, Katie & Phil, Guides on Jan 11, 2010

For the first time in forever, I am going to be a groomsman in a wedding.
Not just any wedding, mind you. But the wedding of two amazing people who met here at ACE Adventure Resort.

Normally, I would make this all about me, but let me introduce you to the bride and groom.

Introducing, (drum roll) Katie and Phil.

When Rafting Meets Romance

Posted by: Alyson Smith in romance, River Guides, Lower New River, ACE Adventure Resort on Aug 25, 2009

I was looking for some blog inspiration and I found it — wearing a plastic helmet and P.F.D. Her name is Sharon.

She brought her adult son and daughter, as well as her slightly-nervous-son-in-law on a Premier Lower New trip. We met at ACE's put-in, made brief introductions, and headed for the current.

On the surface, Sharon didn't appear to be the perfect blog inspiration. She was enthusiastic, but enjoyed letting her kids do more of the talking. They had interesting lives and stories, but pieces of information about their mother kept coming to the surface.

When her daughter, Sarah, talked about her mother providing venison (deer meat) for the family, I couldn't resist some prying. It turns out that Sharon is an avid hunter and fisher-woman. She enjoys those hobbies with her boyfriend.

And here is where the "Rafting Romance" enters the story.
