Babymoon

Last weekend, Matt and I went on a babymoon to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We spent the weekend at a little bed & breakfast in Madera Canyon (about 20 miles from our house). I'd intended to get pictures of our adorable room (in cowboy decor), but I never got around to it.

Our little getaway was exactly what we needed. Work has been hell on Matt lately and he was overworked and stressed by the end of last week. I was starting to get overwhelmed with work, getting things ready for the baby and dealing with my new pregnancy symptoms. We needed to get away from all things work, chores and responsibilities.

We were exhausted and I was ill when we got to Chuparosa Inn on Friday night. It was cold outside and a little chilly in the room, but it was clean, quiet and very nice to be cut off from everything. The Inn has no tv, no telephone (no cell signal) and no internet! We were the only guests that first night.

We spent our babymoon relaxing, doing crossword puzzles and playing Scrabble inside our room and out on the patio outside our room. It was cold the whole time we were there, so we kept ourselves bundled up in layers of jackets while we were outside and the plush robes provided by the B&B when we were in our room. They also provided muffins, quiche, fresh fruit, cereal and assorted teas and coffees for breakfast. We brought a little food from home for our other meals.

In a blink the weekend was gone and it was Sunday morning and we were scrambling to get our things packed into the car so that we could make the checkout time. Later that day, we went out for our tree and started setting it up.

The only photos we took were at night and we're still learning how to use our camera.
