There is also a
Precious Moments hotel at which you two can stay, after partaking of the beauty that is the Precious Moments chapel.The hotel is a
Best Western, so it's also a real high-class joint, as well as being filled with lovely art like this over the queen-size bed:

I understand Precious Moment characters are dedicated to dead children. If I have the story right, at first the guy painted as grief therapy but in time his work expanded to other people's children, then to an ideal child in an idealic setting. Now he has an empire based on the caricatures of dead children in religious settings.
I went to his chapel for a bite to eat a few years back. It's sort of like there's little Festus fishing in a man-made fountain inside a cheesy chapel/cafeteria/hotel outside Carthage, Missouri! Very goth when you ponder the psychological implications of this man's expanding domain.
PS the fried chicken was nothing to write home.

OMG! That's really awful.
For those who can't bear to live another moment without a virtual tour of the chapel . . . here it is.

At least you know that there would be nothing illicit going on in those rooms; any real man in th euniverse would be "turtle-ing in the presence of that much kitsch.
