Bed and Breakfast Tour

 

So, for our 10th anniversary, Nick and I had about 3 days we could plan a trip. We debated going a few places, but finally deciding it would be fun to try some local bed and breakfasts. So, we headed first to Salt Lake and the Castle Creek Inn. They had a nice secluded path that led to a swing where we relaxed as we switched from parent mode to couple mode. The room was cute, but their breakfast was amazing! It had fruit, Belgium waffles, hash browns, sausage and pumpkin chocolate chip bread! Yum! From there we saw a movie, had lunch and drove the the outlets in Park City. The next B&B we stayed in was Johnson's Mill in Midway. It was gorgeous and absolutely my favorite! It was an old home that actually worked as a flour mill in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Their property included 25 acres of beautiful waterfalls, ponds, walkways, and wildlife (we saw a deer out our balcony when we first got there). It was beautiful and the room was very nice. We also ate a fabulous dinner at Bear Dance cafe in Midway. It was the best dinner we have ever had!! Nick had sirloin steak and I had salmon and I can't even describe how mouth-watering it was! Their breakfast the next morning was served out on the deck that faced their pond. It was a ham/Swiss homemade omelet, fruit, and biscuits served with marionberry jam. It was very good and the whole peacefulness there was incredible. (I'm already trying to think of a reason to go back there!) From Johnson's Mill we drove the scenic way to Logan and stayed our last night in the Anniversary Inn. We had a special voucher here that got us any room at a discount price so we picked the room that was the most expensive! Nick picked the Jesse James Hideout because it had a pool table. That was a lot of fun. We went out to eat in Logan and watched movies we brought. The next morning we had breakfast delivered to our room. It was a warm cream-cheese pastry drizzled with jam and a yogurt parfait. On our way home we stopped to see a friend in Tremonten and then checked on our house. (It's getting close!)

All in all it was a wonderful trip. Sigh. It was so good to talk without being interrupted and to not worry about bedtimes/nap times. I think it is the longest we have been away from our kids together! We had so much fun and are lucky to have fun grandma's for the kids to stay with. Bring on the next 10 years!
