My Intricately Simple Life: A Bed and Breakfast kind of time

Sunday was our 12th anniversary.

We actually went somewhere other than the beach.

Now I love the beach. I really do. And I would have been TOTALLY fine with going to the beach for our anniversary but Cory had other plans. I am so glad! That man sure does come up with some great ideas.

He found this bed and breakfast on the internet and showed it to me. I would consider nothing else after that. It looked perfect to me and just like our kind of place. It sounded so cozy and comfortable and was complete with river and a sweet old dog. :)

So we made reservations, dropped off the kiddos with Nana and Pop, and headed for the MOUNTAINS!

The Baird House

This is the view from the Watauga River that flows down right in front of the house. Circa 1790. So much history there!

Saturday morning I woke up to the smell of bacon and mountain fresh air blowing in through the open windows. No need for AC here.

Cory and I decided to go for a walk before breakfast that morning. The road followed the river and continued on past the house which eventually turned into a dirt road so here are some pictures of the view we had during our walk.

Breakfast was amazing. I expected that it would be and the Hinsons did not disappoint!

Mast General Store

We visited the Mast General Store where I had coke in a glass bottle because Coke just tastes better in a glass bottle!

We also went to Blowing Rock and paid over 8 bucks for two icecream cones.

I'm on my anniversary trip. Don't judge me! ;)

This is Cory eating some amaaaazzzing banana pudding. I would have had some too if I hadn't been so stuffed from dinner.

This is my favorite picture of Cory from the weekend. It was my idea because he is not a fan of having his picture taken. But I think it suits him don't you?
