This week of May is so busy for us. First there is Mother's day, then our wedding anniversary, then Evan's birthday, and finally Brian's birthday. Heather came to visit and look around for a job for the fall last week. She kept the boys so that Brian and I could go out overnight for the first time since we've had Luc. Thank you so much Heather!
I knew that I didn't want to go very far. I booked a wonderful B&B,
Mt Gainor Inn, in Dripping Springs. We were able to stop by a local winery before we checked-in. It was a lot of fun. After we checked in, the owner told us about a great café down the road. We were expecting a burger shack or something. It wasn't that at all. It was a wonderful candle lit dinner that was well-worth the extra price. Brian had shrimp and grits with a yummy creamy sauce and I had curry shrimp and rice pilaf...YUMMO!
The property was really pretty. The house is a really old farmhouse that was moved to Dripping Springs from near Houston. They have remodeled it but have maintained the "old farmhouse" look by using original oak flooring, doors, and doorknobs from the house. It is really nice. They have a nice sitting area outside with hammocks and lounge chairs...also where we were served a delicious breakfast. Anyway, I highly recommend it to any friends who want to get away from their kids...especially if you like a quiet, relaxing environment.
I stated on our reservations that it was an anniversary/birthday/ away from kids getaway. The sweet wife of the place left a personal cake in our room for Brian's birthday.
It was good regardless of Brian's expression.
We had these stylish robes for the hottub. We didn't actually wear them out there but we did pose for this awesome picture!
This isn't the best picture but it was so relaxing to wake up and have coffee in peace and quiet.
