Getaway
Well, we are back!
Had a really good time, despite the fact that we didn't like the B&B that we stayed at. It was described as a "resort" so our expectations were high. It turned out to be clean but so very basic. No TV and just a small shower in the room. Fortunately before we left home, last minute I packed up a few games (Crib, and Pass the Pigs), a deck of cards, Cd's and even our portable DVD player.
We spent most of our time walking around shopping in the little Town of Westport. There were neat shops and Art Galleries. Shaun bought me a pair of handcrafted earings (I got to choose)! At lunch we had the best pizza that I have ever tasted at a tiny restaurant called The Tangled Garden.
We also checked out another little Town called Perth. Lots of stores to look at as we walked in the rain (we remembered to pack the Umbrella).
On our way home we stopped in Kingston and shopped for hours. We got to go to The Tea Store, Jenny has raved about (I tried a Cinnamon Tea). We found more Art Galleries and bought a small framed Print of two swans, done by an Ojibway Artist, Doris Cyrette. I love it (be sure to check out her Web site -click on her name)!!
We both had a great time. Nothing better than spending some time alone with your love.
Thanks for your best wishes everyone!
PS. We saw over 25 deer, a beaver and lots of Hawks!

Hey Holly,
Who needs a TV in the room while on a weekend retreat with your hubby? Sounds like you had a great time.
Now I need to start planning for our 15th..its just over a month away.
Happy 15th to you Karen and Cliff!!
Glad you had a great time....I wish I'd know you were going to Pert....they have the best Flea Market on Sundays it is massive and great deals on lots of new stuff. Mark and I used to go with Jonathan and mom and dad when I was expecting Michael.
We are OVER DUE for a getaway!! Westport is a cute spot very twisty, windy roads and some beautiful lakes. Time together is always a great idea!
So glad you had fun!
i'm with Karen--who needs a TV (or cards, Cd's or DVD's) when you're alone???? -- OH RIGHT, must be the ages of my children!! lol
So glad you were able to enjoy your time away! I'm a firm believer that weekends like these are not "expenses", but "investments".
Westport is an awesome place. Perth is so close to my home town. Great little town. So true Vicki, it is an investment.
Welcome back
I am glad to hear you had a wonderful weekend with your love.
Wesport is so quaint.
By the way what the heck is Pigs?
LOL
