A mini get-away

Saturday, we dropped the kids off at my parents and headed off for our mini get-away. We began our adventure by shopping in Fond du Lac -- found a few gifts for Sonya's birthday, laughed at some of the ridiculous clothes in the mall, and stopped by a furniture store to get some ideas for our bedroom. 

We got shakes at Culvers -- yum!

Then headed over to Mayville, WI

We checked in at The Audubon Inn

We stayed in Room 16 -- The Chickadee Room

Our lovely room

Sitting area

A whirlpool tub -- so nice and relaxing!

Out in the lounge area

In the stairwell

Since our reservations for dinner weren't until 6:30, we took a walk by the river. The weather was absolutely perfect for a walk.

The bridge

The frozen river

A memorial -- and a tribute to the recently fallen soldier from Mayville

We got back to the Inn with plenty of time to spare so we watched a few episodes of "Friends." haha -- It's been a while since I've seen that show. The characters just crack me up.

Dinner was lovely -- Tim had Osso Buco and I had Shrimp Scampi. Later on in the evening, we tested out the hot tub and enjoyed a few snacks that Tim brought along.

Did you know that a nightstand drawer makes a great little serving tray?

We woke up to eat a continental breakfast in the pub downstairs and took a drive through the kettles on the way back to my parents. It was just a nice time to be alone with Tim and have uninterrupted conversation and we were both awake enough to make sense out of what we were saying. I can't wait until we get to do this again. :-)
