the herbfarm

My weekend was wonderful. 

On Friday night we had a small celebration at home with the kids.

We had pizza.

And ice cream cake.

Cookies n cream, in case you’re wondering.

After we dropped the kids off at Grammy’s on Saturday we had a little bit of time to kill so my husband took me to Sephora. 

Ladies, he even WENT into the store with me (okay, he left for a while to go get us coffee, but still)! 

After that, finally, a little before 4:00 PM on Saturday he let me know what we were doing. 

I was not disappointed!

We dined at The Herbfarm Restaurant

9 courses.

6 wines.

4 hours.

Amazing experience!

The restaurant was very beautiful, but I only had my little point and shoot and nobody else was taking any pictures either so I just left the camera in the bag. 

We spent the night just across the way at The Willows Lodge.

The hotel was pet friendly:

I’m keeping this one small because it looks a little grainy in a bigger size.   

This weekend has shot to the top of the list of the most wonderful, romantic things my husband has planned/done for me.

And the list is quite long.

I am so very blessed.

Our posts are scarily almost the same. lol My husband surprised me with a hotel getaway on Monday and when we went grocery shopping last night, he left halfway thru, not to get us coffee, but to surprise me with this very cool coffeemaker I've been wanting. LOL How funny is this!?!
