He and his family stayed at a luxurious 4 Star vacation home in Windsor Hills Resort.
“The house was huge and the heated pool and spa were the highlight of the trip for our 4 kids. They loved having the pool right out their back door. The game room was fun for the kids and they loved it. There was enough privacy for the wife and I and we even had plenty of room for the grandparents to spread out.
