This is our second visit to LoThesa’s Place, and it was filled with familiar memories and a dash of excitement.

Our first visit, three years ago, was post-pandemic. We saw an ongoing construction back then, but we still very much enjoyed our stay.

This time, the joyous celebration of a friend’s wedding reception drew us back to LoThesa’s Place.

As any Latagawers would do, we roamed around the farm and relived the tranquility that made our first visit special.
