Our little girl is not a baby anymore. It's hard for me to type these words out, but our little girl is growing up. I knew that the baby years would go by fast, but I never thought this fast. Annabelle is now 22 months old, and talking non-stop. You won't believe some of the words that comes out of her mouth. She will repeat everything you say. From Josie, Roscoe, to dog, cat, animals sounds, to describing what she sees outside. I love it. But I also miss holding her, laying her on my chest when she so tiny. Although we still snuggle, but she fights me most nights. "No mama, I big girl!"
Last weekend Tim and I celebrated five years of marriage. We decided to celebrate by staying in a Bed and Breakfast in Kennett Square, PA. This B&B is near Longwood Gardens and about an hour from our house. On Saturday we decided to do the "sip and stay gateway". We toured 4 of the 6 wineries on the tour. Our card does not expire, so we might go back for a day trip in the near future. We relaxed both days, GPSing it to the wineries, and checking out several of the local restaurants in the area.
On Friday, we ventured over to Kennett Square Inn for dinner. Tim got the Chesapeake Steak and I got the surf and turf. My steak was wonderful, but my lobster was over cooked. We got chocolate creme burlee for dessert and that got an A plus in my book, but I would give the overall dinner a C. After dinner we pretty much collapsed and went to bed early.
The next day we got up early, can't help that Annabelle wakes us normally up at 5:00 a.m. on the weekends. We had breakfast downstairs at 8:15. The first morning Gilji fixed us mushroom omelet w/fresh fruit and bacon. Yum. After breakfast we headed out to check out the local PA wineries. We returned late that afternoon, took a 20 minute power nap and then headed to Blue Moon Pub in Ken
nett Square. We ate upstairs on the rooftop desk, which had a wonderful breeze. We ordered Crab nachos (A plus) for apps. For dinner I had a cheese burger and Tim go BBQ pork burger. Over all it was a yummy evening. We had plans to go back to the room and bring our glasses of wine down to the porch, but we fell asleep early. Ha ha!
Sunday morning came and we greeted with the most amazing cinnamon french toast thanks to our wonderful host Gilja. We left Kennett Square and headed home. Were we processed to clean out the entire house. I left around 3 p.m. to pick up Annabelle and the dogs. Both Tim and I enjoyed our weekend away, but we really missed our little girl.
