Time for Two

If you haven’t gone on a trip alone with only your spouse recently… Go. Go now. Do not pass GO, do not stop to collect $200 (well, unless you need it for the trip!). Just go. You’ll thank yourselves later. Trust me.

Tim and I had a lovely weekend away that included wineries (yes, I am addict, got a problem with that?), shopping, sleeping, a darling hotel with a Jacuzzi tub and yummy food. Oh and some other stuff, which I will keep to myself.

Here are a few highlights….

On the way in we stopped at two wineries. This is Tim at Woodrose Winery. The best taste was the first one and we bought a bottle of it, which was their Sauvignon Blanc.
Our next stop was the Torre di Pietra winery which had beautiful grounds and a lovely building but the wine, uh… well… not so good. (Remember in Napa, the prettiest place had the worst wine? I’m sensing a theme here…)

After the wineries we were ready to go and check in and I was SO excited to see the Roadrunner Inn in real life! And it DID NOT dissappoint. This place was SO cute!! Sorry if I post too many pics but really, it was just so COOL (that really is the best word)!

The blue door in the middle of these two darling shops is the entrance to the staircase…

And here is what you see at the top of the stairs…

Come on it to room #1 (the only room with a private balcony)…

When you first walk in the kitchen is to your right…

And here is the “living” area…

The king sized (kinda hard, didn’t sleep that well the first night…) bed

A corner window by the kitchen and eating area…

The retro vanity in the bathroom…

And the funky shower curtain and chair…

Yet another view of the place…

And the balcony…

Okay, I’m finally done with that. I know it was a lot. But isn’t it the cutest? I LOVE to stay in places decorated like this because I do like the mod/retro look but I don’t think I could ever pull it off in my house… or maybe I could………..

Anyway, Saturday morning we got up and went hiking at Enchanted Rock. We didn’t make it all the way to the top because Tim’s fear of heights kicked in a little and then it started to get REALLY windy. That’s when I decided I did NOT want to be standing on top of this if it got even worse (which it did).

Here’s Tim on the way up… We named this “Rhino Rock.” Doesn’t it kinda look like one?

My trusty running hiking shoes…
No, I don’t have any makeup on…

The view from where I stopped before I started back down…

Since this post is Longer than long… I will save some more shots from our hike for future posts…

Lastly, since Fredricksburg is known for it’s Main Street shopping and German food (I confess, I love sauerkraut) I will end with a couple of shots of our shopping and eating and a little story…

The B Man has been going ON and ON about how he wants Rosie the train from the Thomas series. Tim and I split up for a little while during the day on Saturday and when we met back up we discovered that we had both gone into the same toy store and bought her for The B Man. How sweet is that?

I love my husband and this weekend was a perfect reminder of that… Like I said, go if you can.

Go. Now. Go… ; )
