Anniversary Weekend

May 31, 2005 By Mindy

31 May

On Saturday afternoon, we went shopping.  This isn’t such a big deal, but my loverly, sweet DH went to 2 yarn stores with me and patiently held my list of yarn that I was looking for and carried yarn in his arms so that I could pick up and feel more yarn.  Pictures of the additions to my stash will come later.  I still haven’t taken pictures of it yet.  I was proud of myself.  I only strayed from my list twice, but I have definite ideas of what I’m using the yarn for (socks!). 

After the shopping was finished, we drove down to the B & B that we were staying at for the night.  We stayed in Burlington, Kentucky, which is about 20 minutes south of Cincinnati.  We stayed at the Willis Graves Bed & Breakfast.  It was phenomenal!  We stayed in a renovated cabin that was bought from the Cinci airport and transported piece by piece back to this property. 

Here is a shot of the bedroom.

When you arrive you get fresh baked cookies.  Ours were still soft and gooey.  Yum!

We had a downstairs area that had recliners and a small sofa.  I got quite a bit of knitting done on the back of Klaralund lounging in the recliner.

Breakfast on Sunday morning was sooo good.  We had fresh fruit, toast, sausage, and a scrumptious tomato and mushroom quiche.  I, of course, picked out the tomatoes but it was delicious all the same.  Sunday afternoon we went to the Reds-Pirates game, and we actually got to see the Reds win a game.  It was a good mini-vacation even though we were never more than an hour from our house.
