Brandon and I had thought about getting away, but not going far, just once more before Beanie arrives. On "Sweetest Day" we won a one night stay at a Bed & Breakfast near Amish Country! The package included roses, dinner, breakfast and a guaranteed evening of relaxation. Perfect!
Did I say, "Perfect?!?"
Late Saturday afternoon we were off for what we imagined to be a nice evening at a "resort" (as it's called on its brochure) tucked back in the country. Upon arrival, we found ourselves questioning the establishment but agreed that we would give it a fair shot. We met the Innkeeper's wife, she checked us in, gave us a tour and confirmed the menu for the romantic dinner that was to be served in our room. Luckily Brandon had suggested we rent a couple of movies to take with us. Had we not.... we would have had NOTHING to do! The hot tub rooms were unattractive. I was not going to put my legs in and there was no way Brandon was going to "relax" in them. Our room was weird. Lace curtains and a jacuzzi tub that was too dingy for comfort. We knew the linens had to be clean but at the same time... we wondered. Let's just say the "romance room" wasn't so romantic. We decided to watch a movie. The heat in our room was extremely high and unadjustable. We had our dinner. The room got hotter. We opened the window. Other guests were playing cards in the lobby right outside of our door and we felt trapped. We watched another movie. I got increasingly more uncomfortable with the heat, the room, the setting and everything about the place, as did Brandon. After our seccond movie was over at 11.... WE LEFT! We got home at about midnight and were so relieved to be back home to sleep in our own bed! So much for a great Babymoon! At least we have great memories of an attempted get away and can definitely laugh about it. To tell the story doesn't do it much justice. Maybe you just had to experience it, however we would never wish that anyone attend Yeowza Resorts!

Hi Em,
Sorry your getaway trip was a flop...to think people drive miles for a lovely week-end in Amish country:) I guess the saying is true, "There's no place like home."
We went to visit the new baby in our family on Sunday. Leyla is so precious...makes me want one even more:) I think Sarah actually enjoyed holding her although she said she hopes when the time comes the mother gene kicks in.
Take care!
Love,
Steph
P.S. You look Great!!
Emily! I hope when you re-read this post, you just laugh and laugh. It's the best thing you can do! Although at the time, being pregnant, this was probably a nightmare. But like I said, you gotta laugh!
