Getting Away ~ Anniversary Celebration #3

My husband is so awesome.  You haven't seen a post here for a week, because we once again got away from home.  I packed up champagne, organic coffee, filters, and yes my rolling pin (well one of them).

Hubby booked us a cabin about a 3 hour drive from home.  I brought the rolling pin to make homemade biscuits at the cabin (although a beer bottle works great in a pinch too).  Even so, Hubby cooked every single meal we ate at the cabin.

We spent 4 nights and 5 days in the hills.  Our cabin was way up in the hills.  We visited three falls.  One involved many, many stairs.

This was the last hill up into the cabin.  The road was a bit scary, but we were so glad it wasn't snowing.

We visited a tiny pencil sharpener museum located at the welcome center.  Motorcycle pencil sharpeners!

Had the best bruschetta in the area, and even had pizza that was voted best in the state.  Visited a distillery that made local moonshine, a local winery and a brewery.

I had my project bag with me, so on day one when Hubby wanted to watch the football game, I whipped up some cup coasters, which we left for the next guests.

We had a hot tub on our back deck and oh my gosh we used it morning and night.  No kidding.  We were in it at 6am.  

Roads were pretty much like the sign.  Up and down and every which way.

Our back deck had a bird feeder, so while in town we picked some bird seed up and the birds went nuts.  We saw lots of red headed wood peckers too.

White reindeer!  These were in a fenced area next to a putt putt golf course.  Goats were in there too.  We fed them for $.25 and made a few pretty happy.  I have never seen white reindeer.  One of the highlights of the trip.

When we arrived home, a box had arrived.  A late anniversary gift from Hubby.  He even brought the island to me!!  A set of 4.

Beautiful scenery, peace and quiet, good food, and a lot of relaxation and rejuvenation.  Hubby knocked it out of the park.

When he asked if I wanted to go to NYC or FL, I had said "heck no."  I wanted seclusion and quiet time.  He did an amazing job.  We'll definitely be back.  Celebrating 20 years married has been so much fun.
