Anniversary Weekend!!!

I have been away far too long from my blog!!  I have been so very busy and was packing and planning to go away on a very much needed trip to celebrate my 20th Wedding Anniversary!  We went to a wonderful place not far from home, called the Woolverton Inn.  It's up on a hill very close to the Delaware River and Mt. Hope, PA. You can see more info here: http://www.woolvertoninn.com/room4.html


It's a great, quite place where you can relax, see the stars at night and just enjoy life.  We left like two bats out of hell and arrived around 8:30 pm, Friday night. It was so nice to open up the door to a neat, clean, quite place to be together.  There is a fireplace, king-size feather bed, whirlpool tub for 2, a tiny kitchen in a closet...everything for a romantic little hideaway!  Having 6 messy children at home, it is a true treat to come "home" to a place you don't have to pick up a million things off the floor!  It can get frustrating, especially when Hubby get frazzled by it as much as me!

After a good night's rest, we rose to find the sheep at our window!  It is so nice to see them, eating grass and to hear them bleating.  It's so relaxing.  I could almost hear While Sheep Gently Graze in the background as they grazed from here to there.  After our fill of the sheep, we wandered over to the Inn for the nicest breakfast: freshly baked scones, fresh fruit, Fritatta  and Raspberry Oatmeal Pancakes.

As soon as our breakfast was done, it was off to Washington's Crossing Park for a 8 mile run as Daniel took pictures of the park.  After my run, we poked into the houses on the park property and listened to the people reenacting the occupation of some British Troops in the 1700s.

It was fun to watch them and ask them questions.  They even practiced some Military Exercises for us as well.  One of my favorite rooms was the Tavern since it was so big and there was much to explore!

Very tired, we went back to the Woolverton and got ready to do some window shopping and walking around at some shops that were very close to the Inn.  After a chilly round about that section of town, we returned for a nap and got ready for dinner.

Dinner at the Washington Crossings Inn was great with lots of fun bread, great music to sing along to from the Tavern in the next room, great food and a yummy chocolate treat for dessert.  It was a delicious night.

Our night ended with a final dip in the whirlpool tub, a couple sips of wine and a collapse in bed followed by an immediate sleep!!  All it all, it was an excellent weekend.  I look forward to our next trip alone!!

Loudly yours,

Alicia
