Just Because

I love doing fun trips and surprises "Just Because." In fact I would usually rather do special trips, get flowers, etc. just for fun instead of for a holiday, anniversary or birthday. So just for fun I booked a room at the Anniversary Inn in Logan last night. I am still too chicken to leave Molly for very long. (Sorry Mom and Ali) So, we put Molly to bed last night and then Jess came and stayed the night. Molly didn't even know we were gone until this morning and then she just played with Jess, Bart and the boys until we got home from our relaxful getaway. We had a great time and loved just enjoying time together and relaxing. We stayed in Joanie's diner. It was a 50's themed room. I picked this room because it was one of the most expensive ones and I had a coupon for ANY suite for a certain price...so why not choose the most expensive, right?!? The diner part was super cute, but the bedroom reminded me of Professor Umbridge's office on Harry Potter 5. (Lots of pink, flowers and even porcelain kittens.) We sort of felt like we were sleeping at our grandmas. They did have a cool jukebox, a nice hot tub and a shower with
4 huge shower heads. Thanks for watching Molly Jess and thanks for a fun night Nick!
The download on bed and breakfasts: Over the corse of our 6.5 years of marriage we have been to several different bed and breakfast. We have been to the Green Gate Village, The Gardens, Anniversary Inn and Yardley Inn. I have to say that if you are ever looking to be pampered, our favorite was Yardley Inn. Anniversary Inn was fun because of the themed rooms, but I felt it lacked the coziness that I have felt in the other places we have stayed. The food was okay, but once again was beat by the competitors. (Not that anniversary inn wasn't great...we just have been to better) If you like Anniversary Inn, you have got to try the Yardley Inn. It is in Manti, so it is sort of out of the way, but it is so nice there. The last time we went there we had a candlelight steak dinner, which was SO GOOD, a suite with a hot tub and fireplace, 60 min. couple massages, time in the 2 person sauna, and a DELICIOUS breakfast of pumpkin pecan pancakes, herb scrambled eggs, bacon, and fruit. All of that for about $25 more than we spent for just the room at anniversary inn.

I know that you watch Matthew alot so it was good that Jess could return the favor. It looks like a nice get away.

Good for you guys! I laughed at your description of the room. At least you got away, and Molly didn't even know! And YAY for Yardley! :)

You guys got us hooked on Yardley Inn. We've been to a few in our marriage (coming up on 5 years... crazy) but Yardley Inn definitely beats them all. It was SO great. The explanation of all that you did there is exactly what we did minus the sauna. I recommend it to everyone. lol. I'm glad you guys had fun though on this little getaway. That room is very creative.

Good timing to get away before life changed- especially weekend life :)
