I love this one!

There's nothing like sneaking away for a couple of days and just relaxing with the one person that knows you the best.  Before Christmas Travis and I planned a little get-a-way to Highlands, North Carolina. We figured it was the last time we'd be able to head out...just the two of us.  So we snaked and meandered the two-hour drive through the Blue Ridge Mountain Range and finally made it to Old Edwards Inn. Picturesque doesn't even describe our view when we drove down Main Street--snow blanketing the ground, wreaths embellishing every window, and Christmas lights draping the trees.


The resort was beautiful--full of old European charm. The massive dark paneling adorned every corridor, nook, and cranny.  They reminded me of giant Hershey bars--food has been on my mind a lot lately :-)  There were two giant Christmas trees decorated to the nines.  I love how the hotel had a quaint feeling about it--the small rooms, the wood detailing, the roses on every table--it was all so beautiful and serene.

When we arrived at our suite, we were not disappointed. It was a grand room that continued the feeling of the rest of the hotel.  We honestly didn't leave it very often--only to venture out to eat at Buck's, Madison's, or Paoletti's. My favorite part about the room was the bathroom.  You can't beat heated tiles and a huge jetted tub.  We watched a couple of movies, but mostly we spent time together and relaxed--soaking in the scenery. 

The next trip we take alone will definitely have a different feeling.  We'll probably be calling one of our moms every other hour to make sure Megan is doing OK.  Hopefully, these kinds of trips won't be too far and in-between. It was so important for Travis and me to reconnect and have some quiet time before the craziness begins!
