Butterfield Bed & Breakfast Getaway....

Mr. Darling & I got back from our romantic Anniversary weekend getaway. We stayed at the Butterfield Bed & Breakfast in Historic Julian, just about an hour away from home. It was short but sweet. We checked into our cozy Feathered Nest room earlier in the day.

Then we went out for a stroll through some of the gift shoppes and antiques, had a nice dinner, came back, changed into our comfy Jammie's

and snuggled beneath the feathered down comforter reading, talking and just hanging out.

The room was adorable. A sweet little cottage country bird room fit for two lovebirds.

We stayed up really late eating popcorn, watching movies and cuddling.

A darling little owlet was there to welcome us as well.

I wanted to bring him home, but he just didn't go for it.

Outside our window beyond the lacy curtains we had the most beautiful view of trees, flowers, hills and wildlife. Yes, we saw blue jays and other lil' birds flying around, but the funniest visit we had in the morning was a wild turkey. The stinker ran away as soon as he saw we were watching him, so he missed out on a good picture opportunity.

We were served a full scrumptious gourmet breakfast from the hospitable inn keepers, Ed & Dawn. They made us feel like we were home away from home. We decided we would surely go back there and bring some friends with us next time... since there are many fun things to discover around there.

After breakfast we took a short brisk stroll around the grounds before checking out. We then went to several more Antique Shoppes, took a short rest at home, caught a movie and picked up our beloved wee children from our dear friends who kept them over while we had a nice time alone !!!

We had a great time together... and said over and over we look forward to many more wonderful years together. Yes, we are still in love !!!
