The Getaway...

Even though Jeremy's reason to surprise me for a getaway for my birthday changed, it was still much needed after how February ended up going. The plan was for us to use a gift certificate that was given to us that was years old. Well long story short...our choices of where we could go were limited. We decided to go to the closest place which ended up being Manawa, WI. Nana and Papa were going to watch the kids for the first time overnight. They got here Friday morning while the kids were in school, shortly after the kids were back and we were packed, we handed over the reins. We were on our way! After a quick stop in New London, WI we arrived in Manawa. With traveling off season, you have to be patient in finding things to do. We were not about having every minute of the day planned or having something to do...we do that normally...this was all about relaxing & enjoying time with each other without interruptions. We stayed at the Lindsay House Bed & Breakfast....you know it's my dream to own and run a B&B. Judy and Tim are the inn keepers. There was a cat named Tyson and a dog named Abby...talk about feeling at home! The inn was beautiful. The inn keepers superb; went above and beyond. The breakfasts were wonderful!

Since there are no T.V.s in the rooms unless requested we just use the room down the hall. Funny thing is Friday night we just watched TV since it was cable and we no longer have cable. Saturday night we did enjoy one of the many movies the inn had.

Our room was very cozy. It had brillant sunlight during the day. The bed was SOOOO comfy. We slept great! Three out of four of the beds in the rooms were handmade/built by Tim (hubby part of the inn keepers).

We only called home once and that was due to forgetting about Liz's medication...I did not want to skip 2 days of it. Although we missed the kids, we felt completely happy and comfortable having Nana and Papa at the controls. Since my camera was with us I have no pictures as of yet of all the fun that was had while we were away. It sounded like everyone had a great time! Can't ask much more than that!!! Thanks again to Nana and Papa for coming to take care of the not only the 3 monkeys, but the 2 dogs and 2 cats as well.

Love, Jen
