Our weekend away...
I surprised Paul on Friday and picked him up from work at 1:00 to take him away for the weekend to celebrate his 34th birthday. Jennie had suggested a room to stay at in Galena that ended up being a huge suit with a 2 person hot tub and our own private bathroom and living room. It was within walking distance of the downtown area. Jennie and Sean had called ahead and when we arrived their was a bottle of champagne from the Galena Winery and a box of chocolates from the Galena Candy Corner with a birthday card from Jennie and Sean. So nice!! :)
We hit the hot tub and then headed downtown for the night. Here's a photo of us right outside our room at the bed and breakfast....we even had our own address! :)
We had reservations at Fried Green Tomatoes for supper, but they weren't until 8:15, so we stopped off at a bar for a beer and some appetizers. Turned into a perfect opportunity for me to kick Paul's butt in a few games of darts and a game of pool (he MAY have a different story!) Dinner was great and it really was a perfect night.
Saturday we walked downtown Galena...we had never been there before. We sat at a cute coffee house and even hit the Galena Winery and did some wine testing. It was great. It is such a neat little town!
It turned out to be a perfect weekend...and much needed. We have never in all of our almost 7 years of marriage spent a weekend completely alone together. Amazing how much your remember you have in common when you have no interruptions from children or puppies or phone calls from work, etc. So glad we did it. So glad I married him! Still so very in love with him.....
