Happy 10th to us!!

Last month we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary!  We had a trip planned, but with Deric getting injured and then getting laid off we weren’t able to do what we had planned.  We ended up going away for the weekend and stayed at an inn at a state park.

We stopped at the jewelry store to pick out my present!

We picked a ‘historic’ room to stay in…

Our first day out we decided to go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, yumm!  We punched it into the GPS and took off…

after driving for FOREVER it took us off the expressway and told us to go 31 more miles!   We were on our way to an Antique mall (lucky me!) and it was totally the wrong direction!   We decided to scrap the idea and figure out something else.  :0(

We got back on the expressway and saw this sign almost right away!  Ha-haa!

Doesn’t this look so lovely and inviting?  Ahh, I bet it is… we never took the time to sit.  Next time we’ll have to.

We did wake up early one morning and take a walk in the woods.  (See how tired I still look?!)

Can you tell where we ended up?

10thAnniversaryTrip-16

At the bowling alley!  Not where you would have guessed, huh?  Actually it was the last stop of our day.  (Did anyone notice the ball almost says his name?)

Yeah… the bowling didn’t go so well!  Ha-haa!  It was fun though.  The best part was when I stepped over the line just a little and took a massive fall!  It was SO funny!  I kept picturing it in my head and laughing over and over!

10thAnniversaryTrip-19

We stopped at a pickle store in an outlet mall and taste tested some pickles and stuff, I bought some dip and loved that they painted pickles on the bags! 

10thAnniversaryTrip-20

We made it back just before dark one day and I took a picture of people relaxing in the chairs… that way I could say it was us!   But I guess I just gave that one away, huh?

Since we made it back while it was still a little light out we went out onto the deck to take a picture of us.  Don’t let the picts fool you, it was actually pretty dusky out!   We had a good, refreshing trip although way too short!  Hopefully we won’t have to wait another 10 years to get away again!
