I am still winding down from the "best weekend of my life"...this is what I told Brady about a million times this weekend. For my first birthday as Mrs. Brady Peters, my wonderful husband surprised me with a weekend getaway that was jam packed with wonderful activities!
Friday
We left around 11:30 and started heading southeast on 74. I had no idea where we were going or what I was in for. We just drove and talked, and sang, and Brady graciously listened to some girly podcasts that I picked out. Then we got into the weird little corner between IN, OH, and KY...and I asked, "Are we going to the Creation Museum?!" Sure enough we were! This is somewhere that both of us have wanted to go for a long time so it was awesome to finally be there. The museum was amazing...I learned so much! The pages of Genesis really came alive, and the museum proved that creation is indeed true and evolution is a manmade myth. The museum took all day, and that was barely enough time! I can't wait to go back! Brady's favorite part was the Planetarium and my favorite part was the Garden of Eden.
After the museum we headed to the Drawbridge Inn, went to happy hour, then proceeded to dinner at Bonefish...one of my favs! And look at the special list that was on our table...

Saturday
We woke up, headed to breakfast, then made our way to Chateau Pomije Winery. We tasted many delicious wines, had a private tour of the winery, and bought a couple of our favorite bottles.

Then we headed to the Hickory Road Inn. It is a true Bed and Breakfast, which means we actually stayed in someone's house where they lived. It was our first "real" B and B experience...and we are hooked! They run about the same price as a hotel, or even cheaper...and they have so much more to offer. The ambiance and food were both amazing. Jerry and Leacarol were such gracious hosts and we have already booked our next trip to stay there...we are taking both of our parents down there in December for a little "triple date" weekend.
After spending some time enjoying "Grandma's Room" at the B & B we headed to Ertel Cellars. This was my favorite part of the trip! Ertel Cellar's Winery is known for its sweet wine! And they had an amazing resturant where the special was Macadamia encrusted Sea Bass...it was so delicious...I felt like I was back in Hawaii. We had a great time at this winery and of course we didn't leave empty handed!
It was a wonderful weekend, a perfect mini vacation, and an awesome time to relax and spend quality time with my best friend/hubby. I am so happy he planned this with the busy planting season only days away. Yeah in case you didn't catch that earlier...Brady planned all this by himself, I had no idea we were doing any of this...I was so surprised!
Until next time!
Until next time!
