5 Year Anniversary Trip

Matt and I were blessed to be able to get away for a short anniversary trip on Friday. We were able to go back to Gramercy Mansion...the place we stayed 5 years ago on our wedding night. Matt was able to book the exact same room so that was really special. Although we knew a huge snowstorm was headed our way we went ahead with our plans. Here are a few pictures outside the mansion prior to any snow falling.

After arriving we got all dressed up and headed to a lovely dinner at the Milton Inn...a large old home turned into a restaurant. Unfortuneately the picture of us taken by the Christmas tree turned out very blurry. Here is the lovely dessert (apple cobbler) we shared and how they blessed us with a little message written in chocolate.

We arrived back to our room to find it filled with rose petals and candles.

By 10 pm it had not begun to snow yet but we knew it was coming. Both Matt and I woke up around 4 am and peeked out the windows to find a few inches already on the ground. We finally got up around 6:30....nervousness of the ride home kept us from sleeping in. We snapped a few pictures from the little balconies off our room.

Here I am reading the journal that the guests of this room can choose to write in...5 years ago I wrote in it so I added a short note this time as well.

The little snow-covered patio off of our room which would be lovely in the summer as well.

One last picture before heading out and braving the snow-covered roads.

Our trip home wasn't too bad. We took it slow while we watched others going to fast and spinning out in the conditions. We stopped about half way home, got a Starbucks and actually went into the mall, which was a ghost town with many stores not even open. We made it home by noon, 4 hours before we had intended to, but Sandra who was watching our kids needed to get home as well.

We can't wait to go back here again sometime.
