The room came with sparkling cider, a large jetted tub, huge shower, a lovely comfy bed, there were in house movies you could borrow and robes you could wear. There was also complimentary cookies and hot cocoa in the kitchen, which I literally just had to open the door and reach my hand around the corner to grab some...it was awesome!! In the morning we had breakfast with 2 other couples and breakfast was divine! We had yogurt with fresh raspberries and granola, hot cocoa, orange juice, stuffed french toast topped with strawberries, bacon, and a fresh fruit cup! The 'cooks' chatted with us while we ate too and served our meals right to our seat...I felt like a queen! It was a very wonderful experience being away from the kiddos for a night. We both got some good sleep...granted we still woke up at 6 am but it was so nice not having to worry about the kids! And ever since we've gotten the kids back Benjamin has been sleeping through the night! YAHOO!! Let's just hope he continues to. As for the mansion we will be going back again for sure!

We went to a B&B for our first anniversary, and it was my FAVORITE!! They are such a great get away, very relaxing! Glad to hear you had a good time. It looks beautiful! And breakfast sounds scrumptous!!!
Happy Anniversary! I love bed and breakfasts too, although it wasn't until our 10 year anniversary I first got to go to one. Sounds like you had a great time. Experiences like that only fill our "mommy" tank and help us be happier mommy's!
Wow! That sounds wonderful. I think I need a night like that. Good for you two! Maybe I can put a bug in Nate's ear.. our is coming up in Dec.
PS we don't know where we want to live. We might just rent for a year so we can figure it out. There are SO many places we could call home. I need a good homeschooling support system so I'll be on the look out for that. Where exactly are you guys at?
Sounds like you had fun. And I'm glad you were able to let go of the kids for a night...do you think we are going to be able to do 8 nights? I'm still nervous about it. Happy Anniversary.
Six kids was a little crazy at times, but we loved it. I'm so excited that Benjamin is doing better at night. See, he needs to visit Aunt Amy and Uncle Joe more often.
Okay, I have to ask - why did you take the picture of the wedding rings and the towel? It's nice; I just didn't know if it had some kind of significance...
But hey, great getaway!
happy anniversary! I forgot that we got married on the same day as you, just a few years later! Looks like you got the retreat that you needed!
